Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ This year I have started a GCSE Math course. I work in a school, and wanted to see if I could pass. A test designed for sixteen-year-olds, most adults couldn’t pass it. When my tutor asked if I could do the higher level, my first instinct was to run. It still is.Continue reading “Instinct”

Posting Likes
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ It depends on the content of the blog and whether they want to read it. To interact with other bloggers is brilliant. When I read their stories, poems or their day to day life, it makes me happy. When they do the same for me, it helps me to value my ownContinue reading “Posting Likes”
Outburst
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I don’t lose my temper often and often keep my feelings under control. An outburst of anger always ends in me crying. Apologising is the best way; although talking through why I got angry helps too. At home, and at work, it takes a lot for me to be annoyed, but whenContinue reading “Outburst”
Smile
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ It is easy to become a screen zombie without realising you are affected. Tic-Toc is famous for its brief clips. My daughter often scrolls through her phone, with an occasional smile. Lately, the screen has drawn me in. I have realised, if I stop at my favourite television show, it reveals moreContinue reading “Smile”
Myself
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ Every story has part of the writer in it. We write, either from experience or from what we see of others. I hope to put a more confident version of myself in my writing. As a child, two boys bullied me. My first book, ‘‘Sticks and Stones’’, covered the topic and howContinue reading “Myself”
Fear?
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I’m not sure if it is anxiety, but the one disease I am frightened of is cancer. Many of my family have died because of it. When my bowels acted weirdly, I went to the doctor. Doctors ran every conceivable test. It was only irritable bowel syndrome. Not a nice thing toContinue reading “Fear?”
Friends
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I find it hard to develop friendships. Social interaction is an uncomfortable feeling. Especially with people I don’t know. It is easier when you meet someone out of the digital world. It gives you time to prepare what to say without seeming rude. With WordPress, I avoid direct interaction, and conversation isContinue reading “Friends”
Lesson Learning
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ The lesson learned is that you are never too old to learn them. We all make mistakes, and whether we are in the prime of life, or growing up, it doesn’t change. As a young girl, I hope I shared some insight with my parents. The same is said for learning offContinue reading “Lesson Learning”
Different
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I think my only regret is not telling my parents about being bullied. Eight-year-old me was worried, if I shared the truth of being called names, then things would become more serious. Of course, as an adult I know different. The only way it ends is to make home and school aware.Continue reading “Different”
Brilliant
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ The most memorable time in 2024 was volunteering for my local theatre. I saw some amazing shows. If I paid for tickets, I wouldn’t have seen a tribute act. The Rat Pack was a brilliant show. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior, and Frank Sinatra sang all the familiar tracks. More than that,Continue reading “Brilliant”
