not too denigrate anyone's life, but your possiblilities are infinitely greater than those of Greg, IsoM or me (like greg, 49 with 2 teenage children). We all mourn those large sections of life that seem to get obliterated by depression, but at least you're coming out of it some at a time when you have not made as many lifetime choices. Family is wonderful - I wouldn't trade mine for anything in the world, but family becomes a huge factor in any decision you make. Life is a journey, not a result (already said) and life can begin at almost any age. My husband never started having children until he was 40 and women are able to have children later and later. You've got a ways to go before you're at the "too old" stage, so I think you should take it slow and easy right now. I know you're tired of a life of no expectations, but don't put so much pressure on yourself with so many aspirations, that you start to feel overwelmed.
