Age Challenged rQQzy: If Only

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!!

If Only

If every week was like this week, I would be a very wealthy woman!

The week finished on a high and I can see a difference in the shop and the lack of stock, although someone did comment today that there was still a lot of stock there.

I am actually still hopeful of the mandates being dropped within the week.

I am okay if it happens and I’m okay if it doesn’t.

I still haven’t given notice on the lease and am holding off until the very last minute - even if it means paying an extra month for nothing.

There are currently 200,000 people protesting on the steps of old Parliament House.

The men leading this peaceful protest are Graham Hood (x-QANTAS pilot), John Larter (x-Senior Paramedic), Christian Marchegiani (Reclaim the Line spokesperson), Ricardo Bosi (former Special Forces Officer) and a couple of other support people.

They are amazing humans and true leaders who are backed by a few of our parliamentarians, senior lawyers, specialist doctors and scientists and people who are experts in Aust Commonwealth history and political history.

There are waves of people continuing to head to Canberra over the coming week from all over Australia.

Graham Hood has been invited to address parliament this week and I couldn’t think of a more fitting advocate for our rights. It’s a huge responsibility and he carries the hopes of millions on his shoulders.

By next weekend, they are predicting between 2 & 5 million people to enter the ACT.

It will be an interesting week and I would love to be there!
