I think that at this age we tend to get “organised” for the future , as you are doing. We are not as young as we’d like to be any longer, so we have to accept the reality of our circumstances. Good for you, being able to describe what your life is like now - many don’t have that ability ! My main issue at the moment , is accepting that I may always need help with walking - I use a wheelie walker and have a “love-hate” relationship with it. I love how it gives me stability - but hate that it makes me look old . Still working on that one !

Oh so much understanding from you here Stella. Thank you. I am sorry you need the wheelie walker ...but you are out and about so I guess it's what you accept.

We are doing this 75 thing OK I think...

And grateful that both of us recovered well from cancers...

Take care, and warm (not too warm!) wishes from me in NSW!

A really insightful deep dive into who you truly are Denyse - rather than who you think you should be. If you're heading into 2025 with authenticity and acceptance, then I think it should be a wonderful year for you.
