almost 50

The year 2012 is the year I will turn 50 years old.  Wow!  This is a good year for huge life-evaluation!  I'm half way to the end of this mortal probation; unless I live longer that 100.  What is in store for my life in the next 10, 20, 50 years?
This is a time for change as the "empty nester" years are soon approaching.  In 2 1/2 years my youngest son will be graduated from High School and heading out into the world, leaving our home empty.  My dear husband, Russ will still have about 10-15 years before retirement.
 I haven't had a professional career since my first child was born 23 years ago.  What to do?  The options are endless.  There is no doubt that I will go back to school.  But, do I renew my teaching certificate and teach elementary school again for 15 more years, or do I pursue something new?  Decisions, Decisions.
