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 107 in a Year of my Life

I'm too tired to write.

I'm here (Sunshine Coast) and I have my Chicklet, electricity, air conditioning and a stove for real cooking instead of just the barbecue.  (Actually, Adoring Husband and I could get more adventurous with our cooking on the barby, if we really wanted to.)

No photos today because I was too busy making friends with Chicklet's toys and having fun with her.

I'll get the camera out tomorrow.

Today, I am grateful for a quick and safe trip on the bus and then for the happy greeting from my loving family when I arrived.  Their 'Island of Calm' will nurture me and prepare me for the onslaught of house repairs when I return.

Soooo looking forward to the next few days.

But right now, I need to sleep.

Nite all.
