Yesterday during the sermon at church the pastor made a quick joking, lighthearted comment about midlife crisis (don't really remember what it was in reference to) and the thought that went through my head at that moment is how it is so not a joke. Most people (that I know anyway) have absolutely no clue what it is really about, and I was included in that until a few months ago.
Of course, we are all allowed a little levity here - anything to lighten the pain a bit that we are all going through.
