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!!

Productivity Plus

You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a dream, why do we have toes, why is the moon round, what is the birthday of the world, why is grass green?"

These are profound, important questions. They just bubble right out of them.

You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade. ~Carl Sagan

I was a little bit productive today!

I cleared a few things from my art space.

Cleaned out and decluttered the pantry.

Had a 2 hour zoom meeting with The Gypsy.

Finished the pantry and sprayed with peppermint essential oil mixed with water - apparently it repels ants, cockroaches and other bugs.

I created a money and abundance alter.

This is how I win lotto or Powerball or OzLotto - just you wait and see!

Adoring Husband cooked spaghetti bolognese for dinner.

We played trivia.

It is raining cats and dogs …

And doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon.

I have plans for more decluttering this week. Let’s see if I remain motivated.



Nite all.
