    Am I standing at a crossroads?

    On the slow train to London so I've got some time to think. Been a bit down since the weekend, not sure why. Maybe when people talk about mid life crisis, it really does mean that. Gonna be 38 this year, hardly old I know but seeing Leeann's grandad at the weekend, he's 80 and very frail, it hit home to me that I am on a road that will end and wonder have I seen all the things I want to see on this journey.

    I've done a lot in my life, worked hard, and have been blessed with some wonderful things, Leeann, Taer and Lola in particular. I love writing and sharing on this blog, even though sometimes it might not feel that way. I have a passion for food and my job is great too. So, why do I sometimes feel there is still something missing? Am I just being greedy and not appreciating what I have or is it ok to question, ask for more and further enrich our lives?

    I guess there will be many people asking that some question. In times of recession, when you have responsibility, money's tight, even when you are older, people say, just keep your head down, but I've realised a long time ago I'm not the keep your head down type. I'm halfway through my journey and I'm not prepared to just accept my lot in life. I need to discover what this journey is all about.

    PS: before you ask, it's not about Jesus, he left my particular building a long time ago!

    Maybe not Jesus, but you sound spiritual.
    On that note: "count your blessings" and when you have added all those up, you will see you have more than you can handle...not the other way around.
