I have been in the doldrums with my blogging but afer viewing 'Packed to the Rafters' last week and seeing Julie's excitement and positive outcome with her blog 'Vintage Mum' (why didn't I think of that name) I have found my enthusiasm returning.
Julie was also suffering 'birthday blues' which I am at the moment. As I near 60, alot of positive and negative thoughts plaque my every waking moment. Positive, yes there are lots of them for which I am very thankful, a loving husband and family, friends, my job etc. Negative, the old unplanned holiday. I had planned ahead and applied for a few days off to maybe fly off to an island in North Queensland with my husband but alas he doesn't like flying and if I don't organise it myself, it doesn't happen! Then self doubt creeps in and I think maybe I won't go anywhere memorable for my birthday and just stay at home as the more I have to think about it, the less inviting it becomes. Then I think maybe for this once, don't consider anybody else, just be selfish and think of yourself and go ahead and book that island getaway.
I will keep you posted with the outcome but in the meantime, please let me know how you celebrated your 60th.
And as Dave Rafter quoted to Julie last night that she had 'BAD' - Blog Addiction Disorder, well I am working on it!!
