That ability to acknowlege the present is, to me, a sign of being in midlife. It is not about what will come, it is about stopping to feel the present--as it unfolds.

It may not seem like it now, but you have the power within yourself to get everything you want and need, as soon as you fully believe you are worthy and worth it. Look at how much you have already achieved! You are on your way girl...keep at it! Laura Lee, the Queen Dear Stenoqueen:

Feeling as you have described, middle aged loser - always having a go never getting anywhere. 56 and washed up. Single and Stuck! Turned to education, just finished a degree, studied hard for three years, worked at the same job for the last 18 years, now have two jobs - one that utilises the "new" career, but still feeling like there is nowhere to go, and don't seem to be any better at the new one! Also, getting used to two incomes but not the energy to sustain them. I put older age career change into search engine for some inspiration and came across your blog. I do love blogs, writing from the heart and reading what others have to say. Your blog has cheered me for the day. Thanks for listening. Saturday morning.

The best is yet to come!. The nice thing is we still have a lot of years left. Hopefully we know ourselves a bit better than we did in our younger days. With that knowledge in hand, we can still go forth to accomplish many things. Doncha love it! I stepped out at 50 and started a web community to inspire and support women in midlife called WomenBloom (http://www.womenbloom.com). It has been one of the best experiences of my life. Onward! Yes!

Doncha love it!
