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!!

The Craziness Continues

It was crazy busy in The Happy Abode today with lots of new customers.

A customer on Saturday asked if she could take a handful of our postcards to hand out at the caravan park, so I handed her about twenty postcards.

She returned to the shop on Monday and told me that she had handed them all out to everyone she saw in the park.

I'm certain that all of those people who received a card came into the shop today, all gasping in awe at our shop and all of them wanting to spend money.

I sold one of my photos to a lady who had just moved into her brand new house in town and needed something special for her entry area. What an honour!

It was a big day and I had to draw the winner of our '300 likes' on the Facebook page celebration. The winner won over $100 worth of beautiful products from The Happy Abode.

It's now almost 11.30pm and I need to be up really early for meditation in the morning, so I'm outta here.

I've done my Deepak Chopra meditation for the night - I'm doing a 21 Day challenge - The Energy of Attraction - to bring health and happiness to our lives. Today is day two. There is a message for each day, a twenty minute meditation with Sanskrit Mantra and three or four journal entries where a question is asked and we write our thoughts, experiences and desires.

I do like Deepak Chopra and fall asleep to his 'Perfect Health' meditation every night.

If I don't go to sleep now, I'm going to struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

So ... nite all.
