I'm tired tonight, and that may be making me feel more negative than usual.
When I was growing up, my father said over and over and over that life ended at forty. That life wasn't worth living once you were forty. I think I was seven or eight when he turned forty, and I was half afraid he'd drop dead on his birthday. He lived to 76.
My husband says my fifty is my father's forty. Maybe he has a point. Maybe I did absorb his point of view.
