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!!

It’s Friday!

The road to peace: 444

I don't care what I look like in the eyes of others any longer. 

I am just me, self-made, self loved, fought for and protected.

I dance to the beat of my own drum, (always have) and those who want in my circle will most likely exhaust themselves just trying to find a way in.

It's not that I don't allow new blessings, I just don't stop my life anymore, nor allow them in before they have proven worthy of a place in my world. 

You know your value, your worth, your power.

You don't really need anything, you don't grasp, you don't panic, you don't worry about changing your environment to please others.

You just live, do, create, love, build, explore, create room.

You live for the soul.

And that I believe, is called freedom.

Dancing With Darkness

Nothing happened in my world today, apart from playing with Harley and playing trivia.

I watched some interesting interviews with nurses who were in the thick of it during Covid in USA and what they saw, how they spoke up and lost their jobs.

Did you know that nurses were being paid $10,000 per week in the biggest hospitals and medical centres during that time? Doctors were being paid $75,000 per week.

They were given rules and protocols to follow without question … no matter what.

I’ll share links to these interviews after I’ve watched them all.

The day began with rain but was quite lovely for the remainder of the time, although it was warm enough to turn on the air conditioner.

We watched the first preliminary final between Roosters and Storm. Storm were the victors.

Tomorrow I’ll be getting picked up to practice a hoop qi gong routine that The Gypsy and I will be performing at the local Seniors Concert in October.

That means I need to sleep now.




Nite all.
