The virus finally caught me | What's in this drink??? | #Life #over40 @ManoeuveringMidlife

Everyone is welcome to my channel. However, if you're not over 40 you may NOT understand.
Midlife crisis is a shift in identity and self-assurance that can happen to people in their middle years, usually between mid-thirties and 60. The condition is defined as a psychological crisis triggered by life experiences that draw attention to an individual's advancing years, impending death, and potential lack of achievements. This may result in extreme sadness, regret, and worry, as well as the desire to regain their youth, drastically alter their current way of life, or feel compelled to make amends for past choices and incidents. According to Vaillant (2012), research on midlife crises reveals that they are less prevalent than previously thought. During the course of his 75-year longitudinal study on adult development, he discovered that participants in the study had very few experiences with midlife crises. The phrase was coined by Elliot Jaques in 1965.
This channel is NOT about any kind of crisis.

I tell myself, "She has small kids, she's the sole provider, good work is hard to come by, etc.."

      Thanks 🙏for the tip on the electric plate. That's encouraging to know, coz my water didn't get to boil. I watched that BBC Africa docu when it came out. It's heavy and deeply disturbing. One of the issues being sought by the protestors is the arrest of all public officials with a criminal 'record', even those with allegations. So far, no one has been taken to court. Honestly, I had despaired but now I really want to be hopeful for the future of our country.

    As of now, the protestors are still soldiering on. The ditched finance bill is a reflection of a lot of issues that have gone unaddressed...some of us despaired and became numb to the corruption in Kenya. I'm so grateful to be here to witness this change.

    I enjoyed watching this. Molo is super green and beautiful. I laughed so hard when you said you didn’t read the manual 😅. Myself, I usually come back to the manual when I get stuck. Otherwise, I roll without it. Veronica’s story is a sad one. Women shouldn’t be taxed for being women

      Same here. I don't read them. The stove light went off and I thought it had just died! So that's when I picked the manual and realized that the light goes off like an iron box! 😃 As for the ditched finance bill, of course there's more than sanitary towels to be concerned about. It's just so sad that in a patriarchal society like ours here, the idea of putting a tax on this item is so automatic, but crazy. It's like taxing the oxygen that women inhale.😒

    If you can do okra, then you should eat murema😅. Indeed you're a picky eater. All those things hukuli 😊. The list so super lengthy. Though I agree with you about the snacks that dissolve in the mouth

      😂😂😂 Woi!!! I was afraid to admit that I'm a picky eater. I didn't even go into the drinks list!!! Is murema the one that grows on the hedge? If so, then it's not as slippery and I've had it. But mrenda is a NOOOOOO!😃

      Thanks!! That sounds right! Others are saying mitungo and I'm like it's mtungo. But mútúngó it is. And have you ever experienced the aroma of mutungo on a chilly evening...but it's on the streets of Nairobi and you have to question the seller's hygiene and so you just walk by...? Pure torture😅

      Thanks, but....not for me. My 10-year-old nephew is a 'noodles chef'. He adds sesame oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, nyamabite, chopped corainder, etc... the house smells like Bobby Flay's kitchen💫, but I still cannot eat it.

      💯Of course, they are those who are prepared and when the time comes, they still find themselves stretched to the limit. And then there are those for whom college education for their kids is nowhere in their priorities because all their effort goes to putting food on the table. And for those in the west, college is either free or government aid is available.

    Almost hard to believe our real-deal Tweety-Bird will soon be off to college!😩 Time really does fly by, especially for one blessed to be Mom to such wonderful children 💕 I'd totally also have a hard time letting go when it's their turn to fly away from the nest and chart their own paths in the world. I don't think it's ever possible for a mom to be ready. As for being college-ready, I'd say any day is as good as another for us to start. But, start. Once we get the ball rolling, the process takes on a life of it's own and things will fall into place. With the gap year and some planning, there will be little that can hold our amazingly gifted young lady from getting to a college of her choice. THEY will be privileged to have her and we will all be here to keep cheering her on! Go Kidia!!💪💪

      I know!!!! I still remember her first day at kindergarten😭😭😭😪 Thanks so much for your encouraging words🙏. Indeed, today is as good a day to set the ball rolling. Kidia is super talented, there's really no limit for her, just in my little mind. You know, we make elaborate plans and God laughs. This is one of those times when God will show Himself in amazing ways for our girl. I really appreciate your support. Always.🤗
