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!!

It’s Official!

I am now on a break from work.

I haven’t decided on how long yet. A week or two I think.

Today was a good day with the training room full of happy artists creating their beautiful colourful gardens. I would show you a photo but they are all on The Motivator’s phone!

It was an average day for sales in the shop, which was good for me because I got to sticky beak on the art 🖼 class often. I wished I was playing too.

I was home by 2.30pm and immediately parked my butt on the couch.

I watched the latest Jurassic Park movie and tried to follow that up with a Netflix movie “Murder Mystery” but Netflix dropped out and wouldn’t let us back in, so we gave up and cooked dinner.

Butterflied leg of lamb on the barbecue with smashed cauliflower/potato, bok choy and home made onion gravy. It took 30 mins and was delicious.

There was nothing worth watching on the telly, so we came to bed early and I’ve been Facebooking, playing games and reading sports news. All very light and relaxing.

I think I’ll listen to some of my Eckhart Tolle book “The Power of Now” before I go to sleep and follow that up with a healing meditation to fall asleep.

Look at me being all ‘self helpful’!

It’s Winter and I’m lying here in Summer pyjamas with the fan on me. What’s going on!?

Have a lovely Sunday.

Nite all.
