So lets get started. I have thought about blogging for some time. Lots of people blog on fashion, make up, music etc. What about the older generation. Yes I love fashion, make up and music, but other things more important come to mind. e.g. How can I extend my life?
Being a mother and a grandmother your priorities change over the years. Nurture for me was the main thing. I adore my children and my grandchildren. So whats changed..As the children grew up I wanted to live till at least they had finished education met someone had good careers and their own homes. Mission accomplished, but then came the grandchildren and this is a very different kind of love but its even more intense and until your a grandmother it difficult to express.
One particular grandchild I see daily and she continually asks me when I'm going to die and what will she do without me. This is very hard for a "granny" to hear. I dismiss this as gently as I can but who knows when their number is up and this is when I decided I needed to try and extend my life as much as possible for this child who tells me everything
I reflected back on my life and how I have abused it. Ive never been a drinker but I smoked until my early forties. I eat what I want but then there are consequences, and being born to sickly poor parents doesn't help.
So now 60+ I need to address this. and if you are interested I will show you how I am achieving this. Watch this space......................
So far so good, Gail.
