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!!

River Chat Time

It was easy to get out of bed early this morning for meditation - easier than it’s been for some months and I arrived at the hall a few minutes early. It was a full class again and the 90 minutes passed quickly.

Afterwards, I met The Gypsy down by the river, where we chatted for over two hours.

The weather was absolutely glorious! The tide was high, the water was clear and blue, the breeze was cooling and pleasant, the birds were singing and friendly enough to land on the seat beside me!

There were people walking their dogs, families barbecuing their lunch, a man feeding the pelicans, a couple of guys fishing off the bank and a woman sitting on a bench seat reading a book.

The morning was quite lovely.

I had to visit the butcher before heading home where Adoring Husband and Harley were happy to see me.

The couch was my happy place for the next two hours and after Harley play, I crumbed chicken, whiting fillets and prawns for dinner. I also made a coleslaw, potato salad and chunky salsa.

Now I need to sleep.


Nite all.
