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 112 in a Year of my Life

You may think that this is silly, but it occurred to me today, that it's been seven years (almost 8) since my Mother died.

Seven years (almost 8) before that, along with other life traumas, my father died.

Seven years before that was another life trauma (which I won't go into here).

This year, the life trauma has been the tornado and Adoring Husband's diagnosis of Parkinsons.

So, by rights, this means that everything improves from here and I should have a huge stack of good luck and positive experiences coming my way.

Adoring Husband's life traumas are usually on a different time-line, but it seems that ours have aligned this year.

So, by rights, this means that everything improves for both of us and WE should have a huge stack of good luck and positive experiences coming OUR way.

Onward.  Upward.  Forward.




Today I am grateful for this blog.  I'm grateful to you who read it - friends and family and a couple of strangers from all over, who pop in to see what I have to say each day, who share my good times, my bad times, re-live memories with me, ride my highs and lows with me and follow my photography journey/therapy.

I love the occasional comments that you leave me, or the emails that you send and knowing that you're out there caring about me, means a lot.

So thanks :D

Nite all.
