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!!

Messy Business

Did I mention the disaster area in our back yard?







It is unrecognisable as our garden.

The sole avocado was lost from the tree on day one, but I discovered a new one right at the top of the tree. It may be safe there. Time will tell.

I started today with Meditation.

The Motivator returned to work with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her dial.

It was a quiet morning and a busy afternoon with lots of kids wanting their pick of the snap jewellery and their grandparents wanting to make them happy. Quite noisy at times.

I'm taking a couple of days off now and plan on getting out with my camera, walking on the beach and having at least one lazy morning in bed.

Time for bed.

Nite all.
