In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in

LONDON (Reuters) - Middle age is truly miserable, according to a study using data from 80 countries showing that depression is most common among men and women in their forties.
The British and U.S. researchers found that happiness for people ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe follows a U-shaped curve where life begins cheerful before turning tough during middle age and then returning to the joys of youth in the golden years.

______________________________
Boy, oh, boy!
If I make it to my 70s....I won't be depressed anymore!
I'll find the childhood joys of youth!
Right!
I can barely walk on some days now!
I'm supposed to look forward to my 70's so I can be relieved that I will get out of the depressive slump I am supposedly in?
Maybe I am a little depressed now that I think about it....
I am a little depressed when I think about the fact that I may not be able to have the proper health care I need when I hit those joyful 70s...and I worry someone may force socialized health care on me and I'll have to wait months for ANY care.
I do worry that I won't be able to live in my home anymore, and may have to move to a Southern state because I can't pay my property taxes ...that's certainly depressing.
Well, it'll all be O.K.
I guess I'll be so "full of joy" when I'm 70 that these things won't matter then.
Either that, or someone who did this study is "full of it."
(Oh, yeah, I know I'm older than 40....)
