I had this feeling a few years ago, and while not a mid-life crisis, for a few weeks I was reflecting deeply about what impact on those around me I was making in my life. Sometimes, there are specific moments in life when we think more deeply about life and how we live. For some, this leads to thoughts of the present, the future, and even what happens after we die. Is there a God? If there is, how should I live? How can I get the best out of life? Is life just about the here and the now? If this is you and you are thinking of delving deeper into some of these big questions, then can I invite you to a \u2018More to Life\u2019 course that we are offering to any adults in the Shore community.
