Caught the sunrise this morning. Might even try for another tomorrow morning!
I'm not enjoying Summer very much. The heat and I don't see eye to eye. Adoring Husband and I find ourselves closing up the house and surviving under the air conditioner.
Needless to say, a quiet day in front of the telly watching tennis and cricket. No more Aussies left in the Men's or Lady's singles tennis, after Federer gave Tomic a thrashing this evening.
The cricket is still on right now, but I won't be seeing the end of it. I've been up since before 4am so my body is pulling me towards a bedroom and a pillow as we speak.
Today, I am grateful to have healthy eyes.
Two of our friends have been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration and one of those friends may not be able to drive as of next week. He has to give away his weekly golf and can no longer read the newspaper. I can't imagine how difficult that must be.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
Nice to see you!
Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.
Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.
Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**
Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!
So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!
Welcome to my dilemna!!
