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!!

Happy Sigh

I’ve spent a glorious day in bed writing.

I answered, with reasonable detail, 80 questions from the life journal lists.

These questions were about Mum, Dad, my siblings and me.

There are 650 questions in total, to cover every aspect of my life, so in the end all my secrets will be revealed!

Some questions trigger intense emotions and some responses are cathartic. It’s a great opportunity to release old ‘stuff’, forgive friends and family and find gratitude where you least expect it.

I got out of bed after 5.30pm to make dinner, which was a creamy garlic chicken and mushroom dish full of rich flavour.

Adoring Husband and I watched The Voice together and it was back to bed for me.

I finished with a perfect round in the footy tipping comp and because I picked it as my joker round, I got 36 points added to my score. Because I was so far behind, it has only taken me to fourth place so it’s nothing to get excited about. It was an easy round and lots of people picked it.

We have a big day planned in The Bay tomorrow, starting with breakfast, so it’s time to sleep.




Nite all.
