I am going to be 51 this month. I have spent my life trying to live for others and consequently, never knew who I was.<BR/><BR/>I just started my own blog for the purpose of writing essays on middle age. You have done something I always wanted to do.....be a college professor of English.<BR/><BR/>You are also doing something that I've always wanted to do.....be a writer.<BR/><BR/>I am stepping out into this new and very scary territory of writing and developing the dream I've always wanted. I may or may not go back to school to get an English degree (I majored in Accounting instead)but I feel I will be inspired by your story.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling there is much I can learn from you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31084276.post-59521739925928394092008-03-12T16:28:00.000-05:002008-03-12T16:28:00.000-05:00Yes.
