Tonight
Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2024/10/10/reenas-xploration-challenge-351/ I didn’t think it would be so swift at a possible retirement age. I’m nearly sixty, and in some ways it is nice I am healthy enough to enjoy not working. It is getting more difficult, because of being on my feet all day. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to doContinue reading “Tonight”

Friends and Family
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ Is there anything missing from my life? I don’t consider myself rich, in money, or have multiple holidays, but I have something far more special. My family is more important than having cash in the bank. When my children were born, I got to see the recognition on their faces. I grewContinue reading “Friends and Family”
Lucky
Written for https://trentsworld.blog/2024/09/23/the-weekly-smile-for-the-23rd-of-september-2024-weeklysmile/ My weekly smile is being lucky enough to spend time with my family. My husband looks after me, and cooks my dinner. My granddaughter has a brilliant sense of humour, and when she calls my husband Grumpy duck, and describes him as bald, with the biggest grin on her face, you haveContinue reading “Lucky”

A question from the lovely https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ is about superstitions.
