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!!

Just Quickly

Monday was a write off for me.

Totally lacklustre. Low energy. No motivation. Miserable. Pyjamas in bed. Hide from the world and let me know when the day is over.

Today (Tuesday) was better, although my energy levels were lower than usual.

I concentrated on my nutrition and filled a huge bowl with shredded lettuce, grated carrot, chopped cucumber and shallots, cubed avocado, diced strawberries, tinned tuna and sprinkled with fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.

I drank almost 2 litres of filtered water.

Sales were below average but the day passed quickly.

It was an extended morning with the girls for coffee. It had been so long since we were all together at once, there was a lot to catch up on!

The journaling class was great but I found myself watching the clock in the last 30 minutes. 

Afterwards we set up the room for meditation.

Dinner tonight was fritters made with leftover roast lamb, zucchini and onion, served with tomato, cucumber, avocado and spicy kimchi. 

It’s now midnight and I need to be up at 6am 😳

Nite all.
