THE BEGINNING

Well, finally have my own blog.
Welcome to all those who visit me.

I am an ordinary girl.

Not talented but LOVE the lovely things in life.
Getting older which is causing me much stress.
The body is changing and the world sees you very differently.

I still dream though, but I know that these dreams will never be realised
I am pessimistic about the future.
I have had a good life.
No excesses but bits and pieces of delightfulness. a wonderful man who has been with me for all the life I remember and that counts, and 2 delightful daughters. one who cares incessantly for me and the other who is less involved in my life but who was my first born with all the special connectedness that that union involves.

My current addiction is art, etsy and jewellery. Am really upset that I just missed buying a necklace that was the result of the amalgamation of Mati Rose McDonough and Mood Swing Studio's Kristin (I think Townsend). I only just learnt about these wonderful necklaces a few days after they sold out. Have been scouring the internet looking for one. but no luck yet.

Love the artwork of Kelly Rae Roberts, Karin Taylor, Lindy Longhurst.
Adore Kelly Vivancos paintings and have just discovered Flor Larios art and Sharon Fletcher's delightful paintings.

Spend many hours at my computer. Should really be excercising to rid the dreadful pounds that stick to my waist and thighs these days.
Reading the blogs of the wonderful artists and artisans such as Nina Bagley have really filled a female void in my life. I have no close personal female friends. Just work colleagues. Have never really felt the need for these types of relationships but now do feel the urge to be a part of a group of women with similar lives and stories and life challenges to compare and discuss and support.

Of cause others may not understand me.
I do like solitary times and I enjoy my own company.
I find mundane life issues tedious.
Do see myself as slightly eccentric.

Well, had my hair cut and coloured today. Do not know how I would cope if I had to live with what nature has left me with.
This gives me vitality and some feelings of youth and living.

Still work fulltime. Very exhausting but love to be able to earn an amount that allows me to fulfill my shopaholic pleasures.
