Very nice post to discuss your transition from one passage through life to another at this time. Nice job.

But you were already in the mix, Nancy. I had no idea you were sooooo young..Oh–that came out sounding wrong; let me try again. Every time we’ve met, I’ve felt sympatico so I just assumed we were roughly the same decade.

One of the women who regular attends my Tucson Women Bloggers Meetup runs another Meetup called Life’s Third Trimester, and I cannot wait until I can be in her group. As I say per BlogHer and Mommy Blogging – I was a Mommy Blogger before there was Mommy Blogging… back in 1990 when I started writing for money, back when we called it freelancing for Parenting Publications and Newspapers… I’m only 57, but I am all about getting our voices out there, our knowledge out there to collectively skew the tipping point toward women’s wisdom. I looked forward to my daughter making her own successful way in the world, and can’t find any area of my life that is empty. Peri-menopause was hellish, but menopause lasted about three seconds for me and was no problem — 10 years ago. I think I want to throw in with your lot!

I’ve never been good at following orders. If someone tells me to Lean Out, that’s just incentive for me to Lean In. Actually, the fact is I don’t hear the Lean Out instructions at all. Or if I do, I assume that they could not possibly mean me!!

You are part of the discussion, Suzanne. I hope you’ll share some of what you’re thinking about your choice as to what the next years will bring.

I curse the “downward spiral of apathy”, Mindy! It has defeated many a good woman (and man). Your comment spurs me on here and I look forward to seeing more of you on Beyond MidLifeBloggers.
