Middle of life... middle of the road... middle of somewhere


Riding on Mt. McClure by our place in Twisp, WA

Dan is living one of his many dreams! We've camped and hunted around the area where our place is on the Methow River for 30 years. My Grandpa has gone to this area since the 40s. Each time we go over to our home there I wonder what it'd be like to live in a different place. You see, I've never moved from the county where I was born.

I'll be 50 next spring and my extrovert personality has done a 180! A friend who has has a "life-coach" certificate, says that around mid-40s we practically switch to the opposites of the personality traits we endeared. She said that when we hit our 60 & 70's we balance out the two differences rather nicely. It's probably just because we obtain more wisdom...

So my love to live for being with people is now the opposite. I love to be alone. I love to have time-outs!
I wonder if it's from always being surrounded with people & children... busy-ness of life which I've now come to know as the barren of busy-ness!  For me the constant pull between being a Mary & a Martha... I'm so torn!  I love to serve but I love to sit in stillness & worship my Father - Author who began my story & will be the Grand Finisher of my Faith-walk!  He is still writing this adventure God-tale!
