Let me hear you say, "Everything's alright" (Steve Forbert)

School holidays for two weeks - a great chance to catch up with my reading and myself.

Brené Brown's book The Gifts of Imperfection has an interesting list (I love lists) of middle age's big ticket items, or as she calls them - unravelling journeys:

  • marriage
  • divorce
  • becoming a parent
  • recovery
  • moving
  • empty nest
  • retiring
  • experiencing loss or trauma
  • working in a soul sucking job

I wonder how many you ticked off (my tally was 6 - you can guess which 6).

I'm not contemplating the retiring one any time soon. I'm enjoying what I'm doing way too much to give that up.
