Age

Well, I am officially 56 although I think the real things starts around three in the morning - Mum was always a little vague, always replying to my question with the same comment - the doctor thought she would have prepared a litter of puppies. I suspect he was right.

I wish I knew where the years went - they seem to go so fast now - when I was younger a year was forever now I blink and I miss it.

I am sad tonight, not because of the age thing although do admit I have cause, nor yet the sister thing which still remains unresolved. I am sad because life seems to be passing me by. And yes, I know that I am the only one who can change it but still - 56 and what have I to show for it?

And then I count my blessings - my friends, loyal and loving through good and bad times. The blind neighbour who makes me laugh at least once a day. The flat - although I hate the location I love the flat.
And I thank God daily for my brain - it may get muddled at times but I know it is a good one and I like not being stupid. I really, really like it.

I don't know what the next year will bring  - better things I hope but my other blessing - this blog- will keep us all informed about this rollercoaster ride I am on. Thank you for all the nice things you say...I do appreciate it when you respond to what I have said. And you know what?  Writing this has taken away the sadness - so there!
