My luck is going to change.

[BeingMe]

That is certainly one of the discoveries I made on this journey - to love myself. I also used to pray everyday .... for patience, to listen and wait for what needs to be.

I also found life was boring, I had no passion, etc. before the bomb. I think I was in a midlife transition, rather than a crisis. I started to take classes, went to Toastmasters, tried to meet new people, etc. I was starting to come out of my shell, and then .... POW ... the bomb! Ah well, at least I had already started on my own self-discovery trip.

I have also found that my sense of humour has been restored in all this. Thank goodness! One cannot be serious all the time, and so I started seeking out funny stories, watched the Comedy Channel, etc. Once I started laughing, I found things in my own life that was amusing, and I started not taking myself so seriously. Well, that's my story, anyway.

Just know that I too have been there. I think we are similar ages, with children leaving home, and we are questioning our roles in life, and where we fit in, etc.
