In response to "School Days"

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

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.

In response to "All alone "

With the cold temperatures we've been having this far, I suspect that person wouldn't be leaving their house.

I don't know about you, but I've spent a week with no other contact, I found it very enlightening because I discovered how capable I was of doing things myself. This was after my divorce and my ex telling me that I would never go camping or kayaking without him, I was too stupid to do it on my own. I felt like I had a point to prove to myself. Unlike Hanks in the movie, in the back of my head I knew I could reach out and someone would come but I didn't give in I persevered and made it. I burned dinner once, over-turned my kayak once and the tent fell done on me the first night but ultimately I really enjoyed the silence.

I'm glad you're able to gather with your family. It's so hard to get everyone together these days. Hug that grandson tightly!

In response to "Changes "

Yes it’s certainly an interesting time, but watching myself deteriorate each day is not something I relish.

In response to "Changes "

WE change and ageing is a kind of shock to the brain. I find it kind of interesting to age since no one ever told me what it would be like. I will be 80 before the month of January is over. Looking forward to January thaw if we get one.

In response to "Changes "

My younger me definitely had a different list than today's list. The things like you that I wanted changed remind me today that I survived and I'm still surviving with less desire of changes and more gratitude.

I would never have guessed you're 80 years old reading your blog entries. You're definitely young at heart.

In response to "Fire"

The fires are horrific. I agree the fires are definitely showing us how easily our lives can change. Man's illusion of being indestructible cannot surpass mother nature.

Prompt: Taking risks
What is better, staying safe or taking a risk? Did you ever have to make such a choice and would you do it again?

Life is all about risk. I was very risk averse until I was in my mid twenties. It was about that time we took the biggest risk in my life by taking our three years old daughter and leaving everything behind. We came to Australia, a place where we knew no one or even anything about the place. We risked everything to find a better life.

On a much smaller scale, I’ve risked abseiling when everything in my body was screaming at me not to walk backwards off that cliff! I’ve scuba dived in shark infested waters, been less than a few feet from a jumping crocodile and probably the most scary thing of all was to join a writers group at aged 75 and read out loud something I’d written.
