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!!

All About Me

Happy Birthday to me.

I must admit that I have not enjoyed today.

Melancholy has been prominent.

Adoring Husband and BGWLBH gave me this beautiful bracelet (which I had put on lay-by a few weeks ago).

BGWLBH created this gorgeous piece of art and had it framed professionally for me …

I received birthday texts from my girls and my sister and a phone call from my son.

I missed four phone calls because, somehow, my stoopid phone had switched to silent mode, which was very annoying.

I got lots of Harley cuddles, which of course, I love.

I cooked breakfast.

I blew out the candles on my cake early so that we could have morning tea.

I watched the football.

I cooked a roast chicken and vegetables for dinner.

I received 41 birthday messages on Facebook.

I felt quite alone/lonely.

Next birthday, I will be the same age as my mother when she passed. That’s freaky.

I simply MUST make the following year much more positive, challenging and interesting. I have been stagnant for long enough!

My mission is to figure out what my next mission will be 👍

But now it’s time to sleep.






Nite all … and happy birthday to me 🥳
