Mutton dressed as lamb

29th February

I was talking to my best friend yesterday about the photo's of the clothes I had bought and she asked why don't I ever where the turban it suits me. I thought and I said Jo I think that I'm to old to wear the turban I would love to but i think teen's and people in their early 20's could get away with wearing that. This bought up something for me to ponder on. I have had a few incidents lately which have led me to look further into this topic. My mother in law was in hospital on Thursday because she was experiencing pain in the middle of her back. Me being the over reacter I am thought of course she would have cancer or something wrong with her heart. I said to poppy (father in law) she's only 61 yrs old she's to young to have anything wrong. Isn't it funny I can remember when my grandmother was in her 60's she had a short hair wave and got it set every week and the blue hair rinse (who ever began that trend should be plucked) and she seemed old. She wouldn't do much activity and the highlight of her week was having her 3 dear friends over for tea and homemade cooking. Now my mother in law and mother are in their 60's and they are nothing like that. My mother is very youthful and has non stop energy she is very social and has a fantastic relation with her partner. They are like young teenagers in love or more like lust. Then my mother in law well well. I will tell you a little story and you will understand she's going through her youth for the 10th time. A young 11 year old moved in next door and Maddy grew very fond of Helen. She would come over every day for a visit. On one occasion I rang Helen ( I was still living in Brisbane) and asked how she'll going. "Oh Kym" she said "I must think I'm 16 still I lept over a bush after Maddy and I broke my ankle I'm not as young as I used to be". Now I know a lot of 60 yrs old that look 160 yrs give or take a few days. So it really comes down to attitude, energy and not giving a damn what other people think. So today i will go out and wear that bloody turban which I love because I know I'm the only one worried about it.

keep glowing
