[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider my life ordinary by local standards as well, but I get out enough to know how fucking privileged I truly am. OP, that boring middle manager job, education, and your general health and wellness mean you are sitting at the tippy-top of Mt. Maslow with nothing left to do but ruminate. THE WORLD IS AT YOUR FEET. Don't like it? Do something![/quote]

It's like Macy Gray says, "Get up, get up & do something. Don't let your whole life pass you by!" I had a health scare last week & am trying to focus myself on being appreciative for what I have -- my health, my flexible job, my healthy family (husband who's also had health scares + my 2 lucky typically developing kids), our high HHI relative to the rest of the country & certainly the world, and the fact that I feel good about what I do. I could list off some negatives but I'm going to try not to do that as much anymore. I love my family so very much -- and I feel so grateful that my nuclear family (not my family of origin, necessarily) is healthy and able to grow & pursue their passions. Myself included. If I feel like I'm not living up to my potential at 47, I have time to change the script.[/quote]
