I'm not aging gracefully...

PASSING THOUGHT: I'm not aging gracefully. In fact, while my body automatically takes the age highway, my mind panics, constantly seeks youthful byways. I'm creating a 'to do' list...volunteer work (incl reading at my daughter's school), tai chi, photography,
painting+writing...

youth and scars...

Juggling shit this week, so need a holiday, counting days til I can get up into the hot sunshine into crocodile country..
Besides delivering steel today I have to find time to buy new shorts and getting all my botox and filler done this week.

My youth has long fled on the outside...Tragedies leave scars... But the scars are only on the surface... There's lots of youthful bite+grunt underneath...I'm preserving that... Packing multiple boxes for moving sustains that attitude...Wish my bank account looked more healthy...

native bushfoods and positive outcomes...

This idea has so many positive outcomes...
- awareness of native bushfoods
- increased value and use of native bushfoods
- possible means of reaching troubled youth - giving an opportunity to experience self-worth https://t.co/Tkje9mbZ7G pic.twitter.com/clW33DIGJk

youth today...

Wondering...
Why have young ones (esp teenagers) changed esp in Western societies?
Or is there another perspective?
Could this be the real truth?
We indulge our children as parents (helicopter parenting) + so children feel 'entitled'?
Do private schools perpetuate this scenario? pic.twitter.com/Y1XSvJALcD

embarrassing...

Many many moons ago...1st boyfriend...Watched him leave my home... sighing love sighs, of course, + waving...walking backwards...tripped...keeled backwards into a spiky cactus plant in a pot...Sat there laughing...No I didn't...I screamed...Boyfriend raced back to remove spikes..

active young police officer...

GOOD NEWS: A young police officer actively supports troubled youth...He ferries them to weekend football matches, even though he is not a lover of football...🙏👏🙏 https://t.co/RSw8OBHxEy pic.twitter.com/E6rJYCwZrb
