After all the hectic activity I am now sick and I feel stupid because I am never sick for more than a couple of days normally--that is sick & so out of it and I feel like a malingerer. I felt pretty ill on Friday and promptly saw the doc and was feeling much better by Sunday. But come Monday morning and I'm feeling shivery & running a temperature! Ah well. Hopefully I'll be fine in a day or 2 more.

22 January 2011
The last month and half were hectic. All my grandchildren (3 in total) visited us . The last one left last week. And, I was surprised to find that I felt as bleak as when, in those far-off days, my children left home for university. It took me a day to get over it. I may have felt so very down also because I know that now life is back in it's usual routine.
Well anyway, there is still a lot to look forward to, mainly a trip we plan later this year and in some ways going back to routine too is comfortable. I am old enough to realise that for us seniors, like for children [:-)] routine may seem boring, but is most definitely comfortable.

Last Decade
One more post on the first day of the year! Wonder whether I will post more the rest of the year too.
The last decade has seen a number of different happenings in my life.
My 3 children all got married in the past decade and I became a grandmother.
My parents both passed away and I became truly an adult. (As long as one has a loving parent living, one is always a child--at least to somebody!)
I went back to teaching--my first love--from working in the family business, which was not my cup of tea.
I admitted to myself that I had been quite badly depressed and was able to get out of it, blogging being a big help, and learnt to be gentle to myself.
I climbed over the mountain of menopause, and am I glad I'm on the other side :-D
I found out what I had always known--theoretically--that peace comes from deep within.
Peace to all
