As my mother always said, with a shrug, most people get married and have children.

The ‘big’ one was also becoming a Christian- took me more than half a lifetime.

Some friends were talking about this so I thought I might pass it on. For me 5 that come to mind are
Marriage
Having children
Emigrating
Working as a social worker, changed from teaching ( eyes opened wide !)
Retiring ( love it !)
I haven’t included deaths of close family or friends but they were certainly turning points, making me take stock of living life.
