You’re a pragmatist. You have the capacity to distinguish fact from fiction. You know how to separate reality from fantasy. You’ve come to terms with the fact that we are mortal beings and we aren’t meant to live forever.

Once upon a time that was disturbing to you. Now, not so much. So what do you do?

Do you let grass grow under your feet?
Do you lament the time that has passed while feeling sorrowful for the time you have left?
Do you act like you’re the only one whose life is dwindling?

You live your life. Keep on making the most out of it, midlife woman. This is your life to live.
