Fab, Feisty and Sixty (ish)

They say, 'It's just a number Saz, it'll be fine!' So this is the mantra I have been hearing from people, for the past 11 months since my 59th birthday. Of course, I know it will be 'fine', I'm not totally stupid, but fine just doesn't cut it. I want something more. Each decade brings changes, realisations, some call it a watershed, at 30, 40 or 50. I felt it at fifty, and yes change/shit did hit the proverbial shovel, but the changes which happened unwittingly over previous decades only registered upon retrospect, the wisdom comes with and beyond the changes and time served. So the gist of it is they say, that the number won't make any difference, as it's how I feel that matters and it is exactly this. It is how I FEEL which I realise has changed so markedly in recent months. But crucially this change is  because  of becoming this age, they ARE linked. So indeed yes, emphatically so, the number is important.  And therein lay the powe...

A lot of us have been talking about "getting back into" old school blogging. Just writing, chatting, supporting each other etc.  Sadly, earlier this week we did this on hearing the awful news of Kate Sutton's tragic death, so hopefully, we can continue this is honour of Kate and a few other beloved bloggers we pay tribute to on our home page.  The blog is in its infancy, and looks very basic - but we love it! We've even put it on Blogger, just for ol d times' sake. The idea is to share great blog-writing, discuss topics we're interested in and generally do what we used to do. No drama, no monetizing, no fuss!  We welcome anyone who wants to be involved - either frequently or just a post once in a while. Hope you like!  Saz x stolen by Saz written by Toni Hargis http://www.takeitfromus.co.uk/ fbk -  takeitfromusblog twitter-  takeitfromusUK
