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!!

Define Rest

I'm not sure why, but I was feeling mentally motivated today.

Certainly not the slightest bit physically motivated!

It was about ... hmm I don't know ... 4pm - ish when I finally took leave of the bed?

I got a lot done though.

There was much youtubing to be done where I learned what needs to happen before creating an online course, how to research what potential participants want in a course and how to structure and develop the course.

I downloaded a free information booklet about building, developing and marketing online courses.

I made a list of everything I could think of that I wanted to include in my course. I'm certain that I will think of more and I'm sure that there will be room for each subject to grow further still.

Can you believe that I wrote a guided meditation and then downloaded an app so that I can record it and use it in the course? I had a couple of short practice runs and now know what to do when I decide to record it in it's entirety.

You ladies had better be prepared because I created and printed out a questionnaire to ask people in the demographic that I'm aiming for, what they would want in the type of course that I'm planning. You know who you are!

Lamb roast was on the menu tonight so I had to drag myself into the world to begin preparations. After I put the meat in the oven, I walked out to the pool so that I could paddle up to my knees in the cold water. I really enjoy doing that and I can always imagine when the weather gets warm enough, just falling into the water fully clothed again, just like I did before Winter arrived.

Sadly, no dogs fell into pool today.

I put some extra effort into dinner and made a frozen raspberry cheesecake for dessert. Should've taken a photo! It's pretty delicious.

Adoring Husband and I are watching "Crazy Rich Asians" right now, and even though I love this movie, I doubt either of us will see it to the end. The bed is calling me back!

Nite all.
