I am you! Well almost. I'm also in my mid-40's, 20+ year IT professional with a family and a good job. I was feeling very much the same way you are until about six months ago. That's when I got off my butt and started two things.
1. I'm currently looking for, and finding, speaking slots at conferences. It's fun and I get to play the expert for 45 minutes.
2. I started a side project[1]. I don't expect it to make money but again, I'm having fun with it.
Give it a go. What I'm doing costs very little and has given me some new energy.
[1] My side project (http://wodwatts.com http://wodwatts.com). I just pushed the landing page public this morning! It's not quite ready for prime-time but I hope it inspires you.
