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!!

Day 106 in a Year of my Life

I'm excited to be heading south to visit my little Chicklet tomorrow.  She turns two in a couple of days!  Can you believe that!?

Two years ago I was in New Zealand awaiting the birth of my first grandchild, and now, here we all are, back in Oz, about to celebrate the fabulous twos.

I can't wait to see her!  It's been two whole months since we were there for our holidays and two months is a long time in the life of a two year old.

So this also means that I have been writing this blog for two years as well!

6th Feb 2011 was my first post http://agechallengedrqqzy.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/i-think-im-now-blogger.html

I began writing it exactly a week before my little Chicklet was born.

Tonight, the sunset looked pretty special, so I grabbed the camera and ran across the road to the lagoon.

Unfortunately, the colour was all but gone by the time I reached 'the spot'.

In the opposite direction, I spotted this ...


... and that was enough to make me happy.

Mother Nature is healing my wounds.

Today, I am grateful for the chance to spend birthday time with my Chicklet.  Be prepared for lots of photos in the coming days.

Nite all.
