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 230 in a Year of my Life

I admit to being absolutely exhausted after a very long and emotional day.

Rodney's service was lovely today and I was so chuffed when the leaflet for the service was handed to me and there on the front page was the photo that I had taken of him a year ago.

It was a very emotional moment for me.  A little while later, I overheard somebody say that it was the best photo they had ever seen of him.

It made me feel a little closer to him and I felt a real connection.

It was nice to sit with the boys for the service and the 'Seat of Knowledge' was even mentioned in the eulogy.

So, please forgive me, for signing off early tonight and let me leave you with a bright, happy and colourful treasure from after the rain a couple of days ago.


Today, I am grateful to friends who love and support me through difficult times like these.  You know who you are xxx

Nite all.
