I've always heard that you ARE the mirror of the five people who are closest to you. You do, act, and say the same things they do. Your opinions match, your lifestyles match, habits, etc...Not exactly, but pretty darn close. I've observed this to be true of me, anyway. Check it out. See what you think about YOUR own life and the people surrounding you.

Kathleen, great advice for anyone.

I think at midlife we should have some time to reflect, to look at what's working for us, and what isn't and make adjustments, if necessary. If you don't have this time, then there's your #1 adjustment, eh?

It's all about choices and habits.

I'm not saying I make all the right decisions now that I have time to really stop and think about it all...but I am saying that NOW I know what's it all about, and I'm clear about the "choices" I have made. What is also clear is that I have been chosing Oreo's over Jell-O.

eeek!
