Age 36 to 45 ...
If you are going to have a mid life crisis, make it a good one. This was mine - nine years of the lowest of lows and the highest of highs.
This period of my life significantly changed the path that the rest of my life would take - moving to a different part of the country, starting a new job, meeting new people... and all the ongoing consequences of the changes.
Certainly, many aspects of my life were enriched by some of the events that took place during these years. But I would have preferred to avoid the turmoil, pain and anguish that engulfed and surrounded me at times.
