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!!

Animated Meditation

My sleep was very light last night so I didn’t feel rested this morning.

I set my alarm for 6am but when it sounded, I continually hit the snooze button for more than an hour!

I left myself 35 minutes to get ready for meditation.

What was worse … before heading to class I had to go to the ATM for cash to pay for class!

I ordered a coffee and had to wait a couple of minutes for that, then I was pulled up by a neighbour for a chat and even though I extracted myself quickly, it still made me 5 minutes late for class.

The class was fantastic today. One of the best we’ve had that inspired deep conversation and we were animated and connected as a group.

Afterwards, I met The Gypsy at the Lions Park and we chatted for 2.5 hours. It was another perfect Winters day and a pleasant way to pass the morning.

It was such a beautiful day, I decided to go for a long ride before heading home, so I was, once again, exhausted by the time I did get home!

Straight to bed for resting, where I stayed all afternoon, even dozing once or twice.

I made chicken and vegetable pastries for dinner and served them with home made pickled tomato, cucumber and onion plus 1/4 of a fresh avocado on the side.

Then straight back to bed!

Off to the pier markets in the morning and BGWLBH has an appointment at the nail salon, so I need better sleep tonight.




Nite all.
