The Woman Within

I am sure that there are several maybe even hundreds of women oout there who are faced with the same situation as I.  I am over half a century old, and still wondering what happen to the woman within?  Who am I exactly now that all my children are grown and living their own lives with their significant other and children.  I have no significant other, however, I have been married three TIMES and have never had to change my monogram  (initials).  Every one of my husbands last name began with H.  That is probably why I have not had a successful marriage to this day.  It's a sign that I need to run the other way if I meet any other men whose name starts with H.  So anyways, let me get back to the woman within.  Who am I?  What is my my fate? My destiny?  I wrote a poem, several years ago while going through menopause, The Woman in the Mirror. Readable at 'www.poetry.com.  So here I am  years later, postmenopausal, living on my own, and wondering where do I go from here?  I have been reading self help books, Joyce Myers, she's awesome.  You can watch here on Cable Channel 5, I don't know the station numbers.  So I am trying to incorporate my Spiritual side into my physical being and be more Godly.  Only I still after a few years, do not know who the real WOMAN  within is.  I have 35+ years in the Medical Industry, but I am not sure that is where I want to be with my career anymore.  I want to do something that is more stimulating, My mind needs to be challanged.  So here I am again, the woman in the mirror, not recognizing myself anymore.  Is there anyone out there in the world who has gone through what I am going through?  Who is at a Crossroad and can't determine which way to go? On That I am going to stop writing, otherwise, this could go on all night. I love to write.

    you should keep on writing maybe while your writing, it will come to you ,the answer to your question.and i dont mind reading..i am not over half a century yet but i always wonder what would become of me when my children grows up..i say you only live once. you dont want to die regretting things because you didn't have the balls to do them. you live one day at a time and no look at the past or the future because you never know if today is your last. i know the economy is bad right now and its hard to change jobs but if you are not happy or not challenge at all change it,if you can anyways.live for today not tomorrow..
