Middles

I think we all have a certain age when we feel like we are officially middle-age. I am staring it right in the eye. I don't think it so much has to do with the age that I am turning this year, which will remain unmentioned, but the way I feel and the things going on in my life right now.
For instance, on Friday night I got pulled over by our local police, which hasn't happened since I was in college, for "failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign" . When the officer came up to my car, he looked like he was about 18, a sure sign you are middle-age when those in authority start looking like kids, right? By the way, he let me go with a warning, and never once called me ma'am, for which I want to nominate him officer of the year!
My middle boy is leaving for college in a few weeks.
My middle is getting wider, which I attribute to perimenopaus, another sure sign of middle-age.
One middle that isn't so bad is that of an Oreo.

A happy thought in one sense, to be with Jesus, but how i have to get there is another.....
