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!!

Senseless

Such a senseless tragedy.

In the Riverina, the community of Leeton is in mourning over the senseless loss of one of their own.

RIP Stephanie Scott.

My heart aches for her fiance, her family, her friends, her students, her work colleagues and her community.

The feeling of safety and security from living in a small country town is lost forever and life will never be the same for everyone involved.


Two senseless murders in the space of a month, both too close to home, leaves me reeling and questioning everything.

Nite all.
