Not Quite Dead Yet

April 11th, 2009

Midlife and Beyond. We are made to live in the moment, and somehow few of us see this moment coming. We spend our lives looking at those much older than us as somehow obsolete, irrelevant, finished. Then we arrive here ourselves, our children raised and off to college, or even graduated, and we don’t feel obsolete, irrelevant, finished. In fact, we feel much younger than we really are, hopeful, excited, curious even.

I had a conversation with a friend recently, in which she pondered her only child’s going away to college this coming fall, saying, “I’m going to have to completely reinvent myself.” Yes. It seems that we’re never finished reinventing ourselves, into our fifties, sixties and beyond, because we’re human and that’s what we do.

So, come, join us. On behalf of the founders of NQDY, welcome. Ask. Answer. Commiserate. Communicate. Evolve. Because we’re Not Quite Dead Yet.
