Of a certain age

I went up to the top of the PG&E trail yesterday and I now know that I am certainly middle-aging.

To be fair, there were signs earlier -- my hair has been graying rapidly, my waist has been disappearing, the brats have been growing taller -- but the human mind has a way of selectively looking at evidence.

Now that I have accepted this new phase of my life, I am embracing it. I LOVE middle-aging:

-- The brats are older and self sufficient, and smarter and cuter than ever
-- Patidev and I are more in love every day
-- Career-wise I am neither at the bottom of the ladder, nor the top of my potential
-- I am blessed with parents and in-laws in reasonably good health

Gray hair is a small price to pay for this.
