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 New Year

2022

  • Closed my business
  • Attended a “Know Your Rights” rally
  • Reconnected with a (deceased) x-boyfriend’s family
  • Created a new art space in the double garage
  • Created 6 new pieces of art
  • Spent LOTS of time with my BFF
  • Created a number of raised garden beds full of fruit and veg
  • Spent five days on the Sunny Coast with my BFF
  • Spent a day with Bubbles
  • Built the new carport
  • Gained Harley the Border Collie
  • Had a surprise visit from my sister who I hadn’t seen for 9 years
  • Lost Colli, the not so psychotic dog
  • Remained proudly unvaccinated and in excellent physical health
I have to say that I am not a fan of 2022 and I struggled to find positive things to put on that list. In previous years I’ve been excited to list all the great things that happened but 2022 was a non event.

I’m going to gently ease my way into 2023 and at the end of it I hope to have much to celebrate!

My word for the year is “EQUANIMITY” - mental calmness, composure and evenness of temper.

I am yet to create my vision board but I’ll give myself a week to manifest that one.

In the meantime my hope is that you face 2023 with an open heart and an open mind, that you discover truth where you least expect it and that your body finds a way to strengthen the weaknesses that befall it. Let there be happiness and contentment in your life and enough positive challenges to keep you interested and excited. May your friendships strengthen and allow love into your heart.

Hugs to you all.







Nite all.
