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!!

Hours of Solitude

After a solid nights sleep, I took Harley out to play at 8.30am for 45 minutes.

The weather was lovely so I decided to go for a ride.

Adoring Husband was getting ready for golf and BGWLBH was preparing for a hair appointment, so I set myself a time of one hour so that I could be back when they were due to leave.

The tide was coming in and the river looked beautiful. I counted 15 people fishing along the riverbank. There were kids on scooters and bikes, older people walking their dogs, a couple of men tossing the net for bait fish, women catching up at the picnic tables, parents and grandparents monitoring their kids and g’kids, caravaners drinking coffee under their canopies and watching the boaties on the river.

I sat with my coffee on a bench seat under a tree and became a part of the energy.


I had to delete photos from my phone so that I could take more!

I moved further down the river to take more pics.





Then I pedalled to the boat ramp for more pics.







I arrived home just as BGWLBH was leaving for her appointment.

AH left soon after.

I got to enjoy 3.5 hours of solitude.

I watched a Mayim Bialik interview with Rupert Spira: You Have Never Seen Reality.

Blew my mind!

I took one of my empty journals to take notes. In future, I’m going to take notes with all of her interviews because my brain is not capable of remembering so many details, so many names, so many concepts, so many experiences and they are all so intriguing and interesting. I NEED notes!

Right now, as I write this, I’m listening to an 1Claire Khenar interview with Joe Dispenza. I wish I could afford to attend one of his seminars! This interview is about “The Mindset that Attracts Abundance”.

It’s already 10.14pm and I’m trying to create a habit of sleeping before 11pm, so it’s time to sign out.

Nite all.
