People say that I’m the perfect age to have a mid life crises. Well I’m staunchly saying that I’m NOT having any thing of the sort, I’ve just chosen to make a few changes in my life. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there? You have to seize the moment, do what you’re going to do now, make it happen or the window will pass and all you’ll have left is the thoughts of things that could have been.

So in my bid to change my life, I started by going to the internet. Where better to start than to source of all things? I started by looking in Google for search UK property to find a decent property website. Do you know the range of places that are available to live in? Just even knowing the possibilities excited me! I could do anything from live in an old church to a fully working farm. I didn’t buy online however, and I haven’t moved yet. I’m not sure I’m going to, but there is something about knowing that I’m not stuck where I am that changed how I view my situation. Rather than feeling trapped, I’m now glad I live where I live. What seemed circumstance beyond my control has become a conscious choice. Now, I am living where I want to live, and even though nothing has changed physically, I am so much happier with my life.

What I did end up buying from the internet however was a, well, a procedure in a clinic. I feel a little embarrassed to say it in a way, but I’m a little on the tubby side, always have been. It’s also always been something that bothered me, so I’ve done something about it. I’ve booked in for chest reduction at a place called court house clinics. I can’t recommend them either way yet, it’s scheduled for next week, but I think I’m actually looking forward to it.

My final big change was to buy a horse. Well, try and buy a horse! I used to ride when I was young, and I’d like to again. I actually found one that was both within my price range and a fine animal. However, it seems that keeping one is a little more expensive than I thought! The actual upkeep is substantial. You have to cover everything from the food and stables, to paying for equine liability and stable staff. In the end I went in on a horse share with someone! I own half a horse – hopefully not the back end!

So reading all this, do you think I’m going through a mid life crises? Whether I am or not, at the end of the day I don’t really care. I’m making some changed in my life that are making my life better for myself, and that’s the most important thing.
