Yesterday was my son's seventh birthday, and it gave me cause to reflect that seven years ago I had given birth, required quite some repairing, and here seven years later my body again bears the scars of life.
I think I have so far had a life well lived, and as I approach the 'middle age' I think I am not going to bother so much as I have done in the past with what others might think of me. I know who I am and where I've been. I'm just going to put it out there, and if it resonates with someone, then that's wonderful, and thank you.
In every challenge there is a lesson. I have had many physical, mental and emotional challenges, particularly in the last two years. I have decided I am going to be one of those really tough old birds who outlive everyone because I feel like I have had enough suffering already. Enough said, here is my picture of new beginnings:
