This is an interesting read. Not sure what exactly I want as my children need me less- but I know that some things need to be different. My main memory of the summer of 76 as a 4 year old was shoving stuff into the crevices in the lawn never to be seen again. What story will future archaeologists tell if they dig it up the random selection of objects?
Yes I think it can be hard to know what we want and there is just that sense of knowing that something needs to change and hoping things become clearer! How fascinating about shoving stuff in the lawn. Wouldn’t it be great to know who digs it up!
When we reach that middle age ,we think that there should be at least one more opportunity to make it …..??? What ??? .In our head we are still 25 /30 ,fit ,and with most of our teeth! But then we glimpse the reality coming out of the shower ,increasing waist ,tummy expanding ,hair which a few back were single silver threads amongst the gold ,now fully grey ,and people respectfully giving way to you ,So the mind is still there ,the body lagging behind ,we have to make an effort the retain sensibly that youthfulness as long as possible ,These can be the golden years with all our lifetime experiences .for me smiling can lift me ,every day is an opportunity ,make it happen ,and just a tip ,make it happen to someone else ,thats a happy place

Great read as usual Deborah ! My aim is more colour…. and more joy
Definitely Jayne and sometimes conversations spark understanding of what we want and writing!
