THE HERALD Wednesday October E JOYCE BEATON Turning as I did the other day Is a sobering experience That a why when I poured myself a glass of wine put a log on the fire and settled back to reflect my life I knew there was no danger of getting drunk Forty five It neither here nor there I suppose It s half way up the tree of life Because of my optimism I prefer to think the next years are a continuation of a climb upwards instead of a steady decline to old age I don t really believe It all downhill from this middle part of my life If were to lake a look at the way my life has flowed I say I reached several middle ages in my growth But they had nothing to do with age They were the times when I was offered a choice and I either accepted or rejected the challenge to expand my horiions In my lifetime chosen to accept the challenge of on education the lily of ng a family the gift of loving and being loved the trust and shared hopes of partnerships And I ve also accepted not too gracious my failure to succeed the heartbreak of losing loved ones and the shattering of dreams The greatest gift life has to offer Is choice I suppose that why dig in my heels so hard when 1 see choices being den cd mankind to women In particular When we make our choice with a free II we con accept the failure or success But when no choice is g we meet failure and resentment and we hard recognize success it is so clouded with frustration So happy all you other 45yearolds Re member from here on it uphill all the way Chess Mess The Brampton Chess Club gave out the pr for last year s
