I can read between the lines that you are a bit frustrated at the moment, and I know the feeling, to well. I have had the big wedding, I have two growing kids, I had a divorce and when I was turning 40 I was like "whats up now?" "whats next?" And there was nothing. Well at least nothing "big" or exciting. And as you say, we should take every chance to try something new, to do scary things and live our lives fully, every day, and not just when some big event is coming up. Great written post, thanks for sharing!
My best tips today is to go outdoors, nature for me is calming and healing and it always works:-)
