John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Middle Age

How to know if you have reached middle age?

When someone asks you “If you could live your life over again what things would you do differently?” and you give them an exasperasted look that has an undercurrent of disgust and reply,

“What are you talking about? Are you even serious? People don’t get to live their lives over. At this point I’m not even sure I have the energy to finish the life I am living now much less think about a do over.”

If your response sounds like this you are probably middle-aged.
