Age Challenged rQQzy: Meh

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!!

Meh

I hope that 2023 brings a positive light on our lives.

This year has really sucked.

I usually have a long list of achievements and experiences to brag about and to be proud of, but this year has been quite the opposite and I have felt like a complete misery guts for almost the entire year.

There have been some dark days and I have really struggled trying to act like a normal human and it has taken real effort but I guess the fact that I have even attempted to make the effort says a lot.

I’ve avoided most human contact but have pushed myself to connect with my art girls on a weekly basis. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to make up an excuse to not go.

Anyway, I need to change my attitude and find some reasons to look forward to 2023.

Perhaps I’ll make a bucket list.

I spent quite a lot of time with Harley today …

I also spent time in my art space hoping for inspiration … it eluded me.

Now it’s time to sleep.
