I was reading a post on a Facebook group that I follow and it has made me think. The person posting has obviously been struggling with this journey and expressing frustration perhaps because they have been reading all about how people are doing so well. People who say they are doing “PD Warrior” or otherContinue reading “Sometimes being negative is a positive thing…”

Years in your life or Life in your years?
Somewhere, somehow in the past week or so I have heard this said. “You get to the point where there are more years that you have lived than years you have left. That focusses you and makes you more aware of needing to do things while you can.” Like I said, I can’t remember whetherContinue reading “Years in your life or Life in your years?”
Going through a bit of a rough patch with my health
It has been a busy couple of weeks for myself and my husband, starting with five days in Queenstown and then shortly after returning home, a visit from my oldest brother and his wife for four days. It was wonderful to see them both and to show them our ‘new’ home that they haven’t visitedContinue reading “Going through a bit of a rough patch with my health”
Siblings
We have been fortunate this past week to have my oldest brother and my sister-in-law visiting from Melbourne, Australia. I am the youngest of four siblings and the only girl. It was lovely to reminisce about growing up and the things he remembered or knew about our parents and grandparents were good to hear. LotsContinue reading “Siblings”
Having a bit of a day…
Currently, my husband and I are in Queenstown having a short break for a few days. Things have been going well and this has been a trip that we had postponed from October last year due to my back issues. I brought my walking stick with me and also my walking poles in case IContinue reading “Having a bit of a day…”
A weighty problem…
I freely admit that I have put on a lot of weight in the last 2-3 years. A lot of it is because first I had a very painful knee and needed a knee replacement and then I no sooner recovered from that, and I had a new pain to contend with. This time theContinue reading “A weighty problem…”
A delightful way to start my day…
Last night I ordered a product online. I sent the usual order away and anticipated nothing more than perhaps a simple acknowledgement of receipt of my order. I awoke this morning to one of the most delightful emails I have every received. It certainly is the most delightful response to placing an order for aContinue reading “A delightful way to start my day…”
How do you describe a feeling?
I was talking to my husband yesterday and asked him this question. “Have you ever had that feeling when you hear something pleasurable or see something pleasurable and you get a sort of tingling sensation?” He said, “No, but I have songs that I hear that bring back nice memories for me!” I then wentContinue reading “How do you describe a feeling?”
Tell your story before it is lost…
Today, I picked up my 89 year old uncle and took him shopping. Just the two of us, with a small list each out and enjoying each other’s company. With my health issues of recent times and recovering from yet another operation, I have only recently begun driving again. Prior to my recommencing driving, myContinue reading “Tell your story before it is lost…”
I am the old woman – A poem
If ever there is someone I make fun of on a regular basis, it is me! I rely on my sense of humour that I don’t offend myself and hopefully therefore do not offend anyone else. Today I realised, I am an old woman. So, I wrote a poem about it. As you do! OrContinue reading “I am the old woman – A poem”
