Wishing you a happy birthday, Milli! All the best!

I also hope your daughter’s transition to a new school goes as smoothly as possible. Good for you to take the time and energy to sort that situation…undoubtedly challenging!

I am anticipating my 70th in March (how did that happen?!!?) and find myself reflecting quite a lot. I lost my parents in the last year and will become a grandmother in May. Big changes! Looking forward to Thursday’s session.

Good luck with the new school for your daughter Milli, and many happy returns for your upcoming birthday!

On getting older:

Whenever I feel like I’m getting old I have to remember it’s a privilege to have a body that shows the stories of the good, bad and ugly times that have passed that make me who I am; to have a brain moulded and strengthened by all my experiences and the struggles to overcome the really shit periods of life. Having said that, I’m also mindful of impending peri menopause and have this deep sense of unrelenting approach of an unknown hormonal season coming (in a very game of thrones winter is coming kind of way) that I want to be as strong for, but also be steady enough in my roots to be ready to let us wash over me as a wave and not get swept away by it.
