Wow it's been Almost a Year since my last Blog

How time flies.
I actually forgot that I had a blog. So much has changed since my last entry.
2010 has been a great year. After all the depression and frustration a great thing happened and an angel came to my rescue. Apart from getting older and somewhat heftier the year has been one of the bests in my working life.
I feel quite content and optimistic about life, my work and our future. Apart from my weight which is just eluding me. Please let my good fortune last.
Some stormy seas are on the horizon. I shall just have to wait and see and ride it out. Too much is at stake if i falter.
Anyway, a review of the year.
Health wise at this point in time no major concerns.
Have joined a gym and going to zumba classes. Zumba is the best. Its lively exciting and so much fun.
I finish my hour long zumba class sweaty and exhausted but so invigorated. Our teacher is a young girl called Rachel. She is amazing. She moves perfectly. Her brother attends class and he has started to lead some of the routines. His take on the routine composes the same moves but in an entirely different way. More brash and purposeful. I do enjoy it. My exercise class is run by 'Carl'. A funny pommy all of 67 but he pushes us to our limit. The other members are all elderly people. Mid 40's to late 70's. We use weights and do strengthening exercises. It's great fun. Don't know why but i still can't lose weight. It must be these post MP hormones.
We are still planning for our dream but it may take longer than we would wish but i guess we are only just 60 and 59 so while we are able we must get ourselves in the best possible position.

Have met some really nice etsy people.
They have some amazing jewellery which i find so hard to resist, but i do have my limit.
Some of my recommendations include SuZie Clayton's RedLime Etsy store, Jennifer Valentines SacredCake store, Mary Ann Dodds etsy store and Lorelei Eurto's etsy store. Love all the work of these fabulous people. They are so talented and each creates in different ways. Kristen Randall from Moodswings is a bit of an alternative young woman but i really love her storybook charms and her soldered glass and resin pendants. She is mostly self taught and very talented.
I love exchanging emails with all these ladies and love reading those with blogs and the links to them.

The state of the nation. Never really changes.
The world is in turmoil in some places. We are so lucky to live where we live and are mostly protected from the evils that this world beholds. Every day i count how lucky i am to be one of the lucky few.

Must learn to be more creative with my blog. Will get my talented son in law to show me how to add links and interesting stuff.
