MUSINGS OF AN ELDERLY LADY!

Thank you for your reply Carol Ann. It’s great to be in contact with someone in the U.SA. and hear about your lifestyle.

When, to Barbara, I spoke of enjoying writing, I should have said I have been forced to “enjoy” writing. I was silly enough to take on the baton of editor of our parish magazine- note the word “editor”. Unfortunately and annoyingly, despite requests people are not sending contributions. I have reluctantly had to take on the job of journalist. If on holiday I am always on the lookout for ideas, taking other churches magazines for appropriate issues, reading my subscribed monthly magazines for titles and sourcing old books about the history of the area. I do quite enjoy once I start each month but I find it terribly stressful! I have 13 pages to fill!

Irene, that is what I call being really proactive and why you are still the youthful person you are!
It’s really good you are doing all this and even if others aren’t always supportive you obviously just keep on. I love the photos you send us at Ladies Who Lunch!
If it’s not to much trouble please send anything you think appropriate to this site. It would encourage all of us who are striving to be young at heart.
Thank you Irene.

Now I am older I look back to parenthood and realise I didn’t always fully appreciate my children’s childhood, I now think I am more tolerant of their adult ideas and opinions.Also I find I now can enjoy my grandchildren more with the weight of experience gained.
Although when they (1 son, 1daughter) try and “blame” me for their bad habits, opinions and dress sense!! I remind them that they were only under my influence for 18 years the other 24/22 years were under their own control.
