A couple of weeks ago, in response to the prompt “What gets better with age?” I answered a very flippant, “me.” I had meant to elaborate on that post, but it started generating comments on its own, so it has taken me awhile to get back to it.
I had just read this news article : http://ca.news.yahoo.com/midlife-crisis-total-myth-20110225-162202-124.html. The headline that Midlife Crisis is a Total Myth is typically nonsensical, as the article suggests that people do re-assess their life priorities and make changes if warranted, which seems to be the definition of mid-life crisis to my mind.
They provide the number when most people are at their happiest. Guess what? It’s my age. So here I am at my perfect place in life, apparently. Does this mean it’s all downhill from here?
I choose to believe that the best is yet to come.
What do you think?

I think we reassess, reevaluate, and make every moment with the decision that the best is yet to come–as long as we make it happen.
