I am a 55 year old female who does not qualify for the label of "middle aged", mostly because I don't believe in labels... except that it may serve a descriptive purpose.
I've been divorced for a year from the "love of my life/soul mate". I am a die hard romantic and a relationship junkie so this has been tough. I have great kids who have all flown the coup: AND NOW I am ALL ALONE!
I am a Physical Therapist and have a Masters in Counseling Psych. I am a recovering self/help and spiritual junkie as well.
I don't have any hobbies, don't like cooking, housework, or decorating... so I don't hold out a lot of hope of finding another life mate at this point. Although, I am pretty smart, not to bad to look at at 50, and can be quite fun and loving.
At this point in my life I am trying to grasp the concept that it is more than likely I'll be walking the rest of the road alone. The silly thing is that I have always been alone, but not that reality is in my face everyday.
Right now I'm working on creating a positive perspective and appreciation for life so I don't grow into one of those bitter old negative ladies just killing time waiting to die.
Life doesn't happen TO you...
It happens FOR you.
