Hi veronica_j and welcome to PC!

I'm not so sure I wouldn't have done the same thing to the guy that you did...LOL. Hopefully he'll think twice the next time he approaches another woman. It might have been a little over the edge, but ya know...sometimes these guys need a wake up call.

I can relate to the feeling of unfullfillment in your life right now. It happened to me around the age of 39-40. I wasn't sure where I should be going or what I should be doing either. I knew something was missing. I sat down one afternoon and gave some good long thought to how I wanted to change my life.

Now, I'm not saying this is where you should go, but I know it did wonders for me. I decided that I wanted to give to the community, donate my time, volunteer at something really worthwhile. I felt that if I did that, then it would fill my heart and soul where there seemed to be some big gaping holes.

My next step was to figure out where I wanted to volunteer my time. I did some research on the many programs available in my area. I called them and spoke with folks about what kind of volunteers they needed. I asked how many hours would be required or asked for.

After getting the information I sat down and made pros/cons list for each volunteer position. The one I came up with was working as a CASA/GAL. I wanted to help a child who had been abused or neglected. It was the most eye opening experience I've ever had. I was enthralled with the training and the processes and what I would be doing for a child. It was quite involved but oh so worthwile. I completely loved my new volunteer position!

By getting involved in the volunteering, I was able to network and meet new people and learn new things. I learned more about myself and what direction in my life I wanted to take. It was a wonderful experience in so many different ways.

My point after this long message is this. After taking inventory of our lives, we must pick something that we think will bring us into a new level of life...love....giving and receiving...not to forget learning!

I wish you well on your journey and hope you find what you are looking for soon!

Best wishes to you.
