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!!

Emotional

This morning, our meditation class was full of emotion.

The timing has been extended temporarily, from 60 minutes to 90 minutes, which means extra time to share and extra time to dive into emotional baggage.

The group has been meditating together, on a weekly basis, for 7 years, so we all know each other very well and feel comfortable sharing our deep and meaningfuls.

There is one newbie in the class who has attended around 10 sessions but that person obviously feels comfortable with us because there was emotional overload today.

It was really quite wonderful and cleansing and heartwarming.

Afterwards, I had three hours with The Gypsy, which was like a further counselling session, so I am quite exhausted!

By the time I arrived home, it was around 1.15pm.

Adoring Husband had a zoom call with the lead Parkinson's nurse, who checked his DBS monitor and made some adjustments remotely, to hopefully improve his speech and reduce the cough that he's had since his surgery.

We will know by tomorrow afternoon whether that has been successful.

AH cooked lamb loin chops on the barbecue. I did sweet potato and potato chips in the air fryer and made a fresh coleslaw and garden salad.

We played trivia for about 45 minutes and watched MAFS.

Now I really need to sleep.





Nite all.
