I loved this one! Being in my thirties and unmarried (and maybe a little baby hungry), I REALLLLLLLLLY related to that section.

There is a big article on “middle adulthood” today in the NYTimes. It’s focusing on Millennials but there are some interesting thoughts about so called middle age, how it was perceived in the boomer generation and the differences now.

I had my kids stupid early in a really bad marriage so my 20's were bizarre and traumatic and so I don't remember much about them. (Or my kids' early lives, which is really sad.) BUT, by my 30's I was getting my feet under me and my awesome kids were growing up with me and we had a blast. The 40's were sad because the kids were growing up and moving away and I hit perimenopause early, and got fat and kinda sick.... but then I hit fifty and bawled my eyes out for a solid 24 hours, and now, at 56, heck yeah! Found that invisibility cape, got on the good HRT, still rock the yoga pants, have a wonderful husband, poly partners, and best friends who've been with me through it all. Got my grad degrees, and am in the process of finding my new career path. OK, that part is terrifying and sometimes disappointing. (Really? You hired the 23 year old with a BA and EXTENSIVE experience in what, exactly? Oh, being pushed around by the board, oh yeah. Nevermind.) Technology is incredible and fun and CAT VIDEOS, and even better- GRAND KIDS!! Love this post, Kim- and THANK YOU for asking!
