It’s a great list. I’m 47, and most of it resonates deeply. Still, I sometimes catch myself thinking, “Isn’t it a bit late for this?” And maybe it is—too late for a few things in life. But not for most. And I suppose that’s the spirit to hold on to.

I know exactly what you mean, Selda! I catch myself thinking that all the time! But I remind myself that there are really no rules, people have done many impressive things in midlife and beyond, and that everyone loves a late bloomer!

I resonate with all of this! I really love this way of thinking and of course a good Nora antidote can cure anything!

La Loop is the answer the my problems. I've lost so many pairs of glasses that I am not allowing myself to buy anything but drugstore glasses until I can figure out a system. Could this be it? Thank you!

I love these midlife rules! #1 is my fave...Things have always happened a bit later in life for me, so I've tried to pay attention when I saw others going through similar experiences. I had no idea Ina Garten wrote her first cookbook at 50! Totally agree that it's never too late!
