Fear might seem like rather a strange reason to feature in my mid-life crisis, so I shall explain what I mean.

When I was nineteen, I could quite happily travel on the back of motorbike at 90 mph, and it would never even occur to me that anything bad could happen.  Luckily nothing ever did, but now, my first thoughts are all about the bad outcomes.  With age comes too much knowledge, and although that is obviously a good thing, it does somewhat curtail one's enjoyment of things.  Well of slightly dangerous things, anyway!

When I first passed my driving test, I used to take great delight in forcing my little car to go over 100 mph, and once managed 106 (going downhill).  I didn't care about getting caught by the police, and again, it never occurred to me it could all end in tears.  Now my head is full of horrific crash stories and the desire not to have a huge fine for speeding!

This is all beginning to sound like I want to be really irresponsible, and of course I don't - it's just that nowadays everything seems to scare me.  I think having children may have something to do with it.  I find I'm in a constant state of worry about them whenever they go out (even though one is now 18 and the other 27!), and now one of them is driving, that's even worse.  When you have someone else to worry about apart from yourself, everything is suddenly much more important - and danger lurks around every corner!

All I seem to do is be beset with fears about all the bad things that could happen to me, or members of my family, or friends - the list goes on.  It kinda takes the fun out of things.  I don't even enjoy fairground rides as much as I did.  I keep thinking of all the unlikely disasters that could happen.  Of course watching Final Destination 3 didn't help with that!

So to sum up, fear is part of my mid-life crisis because I keep harking back to being nineteen and fearless again, and I realise it's never going to happen.  I'm still nineteen inside though......... :-)

Thursday 7th June, 2018

Nearly took myself off to the fair today.  I was driving home from town after dropping my son at his friend's house, when I saw a sign advertising a funfair nearby.  For some reason it took me right back to when I was seventeen, and a group of us from Sixth Form went to the funfair one evening.  It was an amazing night, and I've never forgotten it.  Nothing major happened, it was just good fun with good friends.  And we were seventeen.  Suddenly what I wanted most in the world - no, needed, most in the world - was to be riding on the chairoplanes with Rhinestone Cowboy playing really loudly.  And I needed to be seventeen again.  I cried.


                                                                         

Well I'm sure most of you are now thinking that's a bit pathetic.  Get over yourself - you're not a teenager any more, it happens to everyone.  And fair enough.  I would agree with you, but after the strange week I've just had, I can only assume it's some sort of reaction.

On Monday it was our thirtieth wedding anniversary.  Quite an achievement, and certainly something to be proud of.  But also something that invariably makes one feel old!  Then, just two days later, on Wednesday, our youngest child turned eighteen.  Technically, I now have no children.  They are both adults.  That's a very scary and rather sad thought.  So by Thursday I was feeling pretty churned up and depressed. 

Add to that the fact that I realised on my last birthday that I am almost certainly more than half way through my life, (although I have always intended to live forever), and you pretty much have the perfect storm.  In my head I'm still nineteen.  I still haven't really got going with life, and yet here I am - my children are grown-up (technically), I have a baby granddaughter and I probably should be behaving like an adult.  

Well that ain't gonna happen, so I shall just get on with my mid-life crisis and see what happens next.  

It's the first day of The Romance Reviews Sizzling Summer Reads Party today, and The Girl in the Painting is one of the books you can win.  Just pop over to their site and answer a quick question, and a free copy could be yours.  The answer to the question can be found on my website.  Good luck!  

And don't forget there's still another week of the 99p/99cent sale to go.  All four NightHawk books, including The Girl in the Painting, are on offer.  So if you don't win a copy, you can still get one for under £1/$1.  Happy Reading.
