I'm a middle-aged mom, married to a middle-aged dad, we have
three middle-aged kids, we are middle class and live in the middle of the
country! Many people consider being in the middle of life a time of great boredom.
Well, if you consider driving a minivan, sitting at your kids soccer games, and
going to bed at 10pm on Friday night boring, then you are right, middle age is
a time of great boredom. But what if you love your minivan? What if you love
watching your kids play a sport they moderately enjoy? What if you can’t wait
to crawl into bed on a Friday night just so you can be alone with Netflix? Well
then, you are at the write blogs space! As dull as being in the middle may
sound to those who have not yet entered it or those who have survived it (and
blocked it out), it is a state of being that is not for the faint of heart, the
weak minded, or the easily broken. It drives you to your limits, pushes your
boundaries, and changes you for the better inside and out (probably more on the
inside). And in the words of Law and Order: SVU, “These are our stories”.
