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!!

Peaceful Monday

I really enjoyed meditation this morning.

There were only four of us plus The Gypsy, but between meditations, there was some great discussions and even the newbie engaged in some interesting banter.

It was so good, we went about ten minutes over time and even then, everybody lingered.

We had three deliveries today. One was a box full of watches, one a box full of journals and notebooks and the other was just for me and had clothes and jewellery.

I didn't get a lot done today because I spent so much time chatting. I chatted with The Gypsy ...  a lot. I chatted with customers. I chatted with friends. I chatted with the insurance assessor. I chatted with the real estate agent. I chatted with the delivery guy. I chatted with Adoring Husband.

The only productivity in my day was checking off, pricing and displaying the watches.

My desk is covered with 'to do' work and the back table is now covered with journals and notebooks to price and display.

I really have my work cut out for me for the remainder of the week, including getting our ad ready before Wednesday for all three newsletters and preparing my lessons for the photography course on Friday, returning some damaged stock to suppliers, contacting suppliers re missing items from deliveries, getting the lease sorted and more.

Tomorrow is coffee morning with the girls which, as usual, I am looking forward to, but I definitely need an early night and a good night's sleep, so that I can power through the rest of the day and get stuff done.

I'm feeling rather weary!

Nite all.
