Midlife Euphoria

Midlife Euphoria  Day 1

Growing up is fun, period.

Existence can be divided into distinct phases. Each stride rolls up with inimitable features characteristic of that point in time. One can by and large generalize the attributes of all divisions; nevertheless there are exceptions to the rule and individual divergences.

The broad categories that lifetime can be separated into are Infancy from  birth to two years, Childhood from age two to twelve, Adolescence up to 18 years and Adulthood until one dies. However I would like to sub divide this last genre further into midlife and finally old age.
Middle age is the period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age. Various attempts have been made to define this age, which is around the third quarter of the average life span of human beings.
According to Collins Dictionary, this is "... usually considered to occur approximately between the ages of 40 and 60".
The Oxford English Dictionary gives a similar definition but with a later start point "... the period between youth and old age, about 45 to 60

In my experience I have witnessed a large number of people who flout this rule and even past 60’s,70’s and as late as 80’s lead their lives as they did between the considered midlife span. This grouping is in my opinion without any definite age specifications and depends upon how you feel and how you put your life priorities on the right track. This is therefore an elastic cycle where the stretch and extension depends on the individual.
