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 355 in a Year of my Life

Just ten more days and this "Year of my Life" will be finished and a new blog year to begin!

This is an interesting headline:

Sea cucumber extract kills 95 percent of breast cancer cells and shrinks lung tumors

You can read more about it here.  

Now that  I'm getting more adventurous in facebook, it's pretty amazing the information you can find there.

Other photographer's pages, natural therapies, home-made cosmetics and cleaning products, National Geographic, raw food recipes and vegan recipes.

One page called 'The Watchers' which has information from all around the world about Science, Technology, Earth changes, volcanos, cyclones, earthquakes, solar activity, sustainable living, health, social evolution, pollution, climate change ... the list goes on and on and on.

It's very interesting and sometimes a little scary.  Every day there is something amazing happening somewhere.  

Just this week alone, there have been two massive hurricane/typhoons affecting both Japan and Vietnam, earthquakes in the Philippines, Crete and New Guinea, a volcano eruption in Russia, massive solar flares from the sun, just to name a few.

They also have a website http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/ if you're interested.

Today, on the National Geographic channel, Adoring Husband and I watched a movie called "Chasing Ice".

It follows National Geographic photographer James Balog across the Arctic as he deploys time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.

You simply can't argue about global warming, after watching this movie.  It's frightening how quickly the glaciers are melting.

It's a very good movie and the photography is awesome.  If you get the chance to see it, I recommend it.

I only have one photo to share today.


I tried for a sunset and a moonrise this afternoon.  Both were fizzers due to cloud and haze on the horizon.

Ah well, there is always next month.

Today, I'm grateful to have finished this post before midnight, so that I can climb into bed before I turn into a pumpkin!

Nite all.
