1. The Peace Stage - there’s no place like home . . . conception to birth
2. The AAAAH!!!! Stage - making up for lost time in the peace stage. . .
birth to 3 years
3. The Joy Stage - can you tell this is my favorite stage? 3 to 6 years
4. The “Oh, now I get it!” Stage - true communication starts to become
possible between child and adult. . . 6 to 12 years
5.1 The “You don’t know what it’s like!” Stage - also known as the
“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” Stage. . . 12 to 18
years
5.2 The “Thaaaat’s what they were talking about...” Stage - the light
has dawned and all the advice and warnings
received in stage 5.1 start to
make sense. . . 18 to 25 years
6. The “I can make anything happen if I just force it hard enough” Stage -
not seeing the forest for the trees. . . 25 to 40 years
7. The “How did I end up here?” Stage - where did all the time go and how
did
I make such a mess of things? 40 to 65 years
8. The “Wait! I’m not done yet!” Stage - realizing what you could’ve done
better, and what you never gave yourself the opportunity to
do in life. . .
65 to 80 years
9. The “Are we there yet?” Stage - looking forward to our great reward. . .
80 and on. . .
as for me, I am currently in Stage 7, although I
wouldn’t say I’ve made a mess of things, I do wonder how
I ended up where I am . . . but I am grateful that I can now
see the forest for the trees and they are beautiful. . .
I do have the tendency to gravitate to Stage 9 now and again. . .
but only in cases of extreme exhaustion!
