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 282 in a Year of my Life

Apologies for another very short post tonight.

No photos to share ... again.

I've been watching tutorials all day and learning a LOT.

Then tonight, I was messaged by a lady from overseas wanting to buy some of my photos!

Very exciting, but I'm having trouble with one of the photos because I don't have the original on file, so I've been stressing a bit over how to provide a large copy.

She wants actual prints, which I will then send to her in the mail and she is having the frames custom made.

So my brain is working overtime.

The job is not yet complete, it's almost midnight and I have to be up at 5am to go whale watching tomorrow, so I'm off to bed and hopefully, with a fresh start tomorrow afternoon, I will have more success.

Today, I am grateful for facebook, which provided an avenue for me to showcase my work and has generated an amazing sale for me!  I've done no networking and haven't even mentioned that my photos are for sale, so the fact that she has made the request, makes it even more special for me.

Nite all.
