At 46, I certainly don't feel middle-aged but I would technically consider myself that. It has gotten me in hot water so I keep that view to myself mostly!Mana Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144569726859361978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-26209391292545385642012-06-16T12:30:15.090-05:002012-06-16T12:30:15.090-05:00I love what Roses' mother had to say!I love what Roses' mother had to say!seashoreknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313444169419481891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-91829699254707418572012-06-16T07:24:31.601-05:002012-06-16T07:24:31.601-05:00Cheers to middle age!!

It is usually used to unkindly describe someone who's life has become in a rut and who appears to be boring and staid. I am 47 and of someone were to refer to me as middle aged I would feel mortified. I wish it could be celebrated as in the quotation you gave.
