Thanks for your comments. Yes, you’ve right about things changing with age. I never thought I’d find myself incapacitated. Weird isn’t it? I’m sure we all have had the sense that ‘old age won’t happen to me!’ It seems life had other plans.😂
Hope your recovery after your knee surgery is progressing well.

Nice entry.

Like you, I don't do clothes shopping anymore, and with the arthritis, I stopped walking outside, but I walk inside the house and around the yard. Things change greatly as we grow older and older.

It's like the apple in the garden, too tempting to avoid and look what happened after that.

In response to "Work Ethic"

Hats off to you! I don't think I could do what you did. On the other hand, having a lot of people fixing things while you are taking care of the kids and trying to keep them safe would have its own downers, too.
Anyhow, so glad you could and did do all that! That's some feat to be proud of.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn

I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.

I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.

In response to "New Year so far."

weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.

Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.

Watching grandchildren choose as they age is so interesting because society has changed so much since I was a child.

In response to "All alone "

The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

Digging deep

As a child I was a real scaredy-cat. Everything used to frighten me, I was shy and timid.
We made a massive decision when I was twenty eight to leave England and emigrate to Australia. At that time my husband and I along with our three year old daughter lived next door to my parents. We had a built in baby sitter and everyone I knew had known me since childhood.
We knew no one in Australia, we had no job to go to and didn’t really know much about the country. From somewhere I found the courage to leave everything and everyone I knew.

It was a good decision in the end but it was not easy. My children grew up without extended family and I often needed their help, but it made me strong and brave.

I could be wrong

I’ve always been a snap judgment type of person and usually that initial first impression has been correct. According to science within the first few seconds of meeting a person we make some sort of judgement about them. Most of the judgements will concern our values, the ones we were brought up to believe in. I was born just after the Second World War and hardly anyone in those days sported tattoos for instance. I was told by my parents that only Gypsies and Sailors had tattoos and were not to be trusted. How ironic that a few of my children and grandchildren are proud of their “ink”. I still don’t like tattoos though, but have learned that having them doesn’t make people bad or untrustworthy. I like to feel I’m less judgemental as I get older.
Growing up in class conscious England made me the person I am today. We all knew which rung on life’s ladder we belonged. Everyone seemed to accept our position. It’s a ridiculous notion I agree.
