I was excited to go to work this morning and I arrived bright and early - though not as early as The Gypsy!
She was waiting in the car park when I parked my trike at the back door.
Even though I went to bed early last night, it was stupid o’clock by the time I fell asleep.
I listened to 2 x twenty minute meditations, but even with my mind quiet, my body felt energised and I just couldn’t relax enough to fall asleep. I refused to look at the clock, for fear of adding pressure, because I knew I had to be up extra early for meditation.
It felt like I was asleep for about 20 minutes when the alarm woke me and it was difficult to climb out of bed and get moving, but I got to work with time to spare.
It was another good day in the shop and still the annual holiday makers are strolling in and admiring our space.
Queensland had a disappointing loss in the State of Origin last night - but at least we got to see some rare NSW Blues supporter’s smiles, including Adoring Husband’s!
Now I need some sleep to make up for the lack of it last night.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
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!!
