I’ve noticed a theme to a lot of the conversations I’ve had with friends, seems delays, or unexpected stoppages or just lack of time, energy or discipline has us “Stalled Out”… I’m thinking we somehow are all sharing the same issues, since we’re pretty much in the same age category known as the”Oreos”sandwiched between raising families and caring for aging parents. There are minor repairs to be made on the house or car, closets to sort, bills to pay and not much money to pay them with! There are friends we mean to call, family we should visit, functions we’d love to attend, but we somehow can’t get our acts together! We feel like we’re walking in molasses! Bogged down by careers and families we love, but unable to find time to enjoy being with them – Seems like we’re always caring for them! Is it any wonder that a recent study shows that the people between the ages of 45 and 64 have the least satisfying quality of life!
Solutions anyone? I’m not sure there are any, but I do know when I’ve stalled out my car I call for assistance. Funny that’s another thing my friends and I have in common we never ask for help! I propose we Oreos form our own “Road Side Assistance” . Let’s offer each other a push or a jump start and more importantly ACCEPT one when offered…
Need a Tow?
