I'm glad you're able to gather with your family. It's so hard to get everyone together these days. Hug that grandson tightly!

Yes it’s certainly an interesting time, but watching myself deteriorate each day is not something I relish.

WE change and ageing is a kind of shock to the brain. I find it kind of interesting to age since no one ever told me what it would be like. I will be 80 before the month of January is over. Looking forward to January thaw if we get one.

My younger me definitely had a different list than today's list. The things like you that I wanted changed remind me today that I survived and I'm still surviving with less desire of changes and more gratitude.

I would never have guessed you're 80 years old reading your blog entries. You're definitely young at heart.

In response to "Fire"

The fires are horrific. I agree the fires are definitely showing us how easily our lives can change. Man's illusion of being indestructible cannot surpass mother nature.

Ouch, and so sorry for you and everyone! I hope she realizes what's ailing her and takes care of it herself real soon. Best of luck with her!

I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.

If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.

Reflection

Have fun with these words: serendipity, sparkle, ramble, facts, ghosts, harness, and couch.

The sparkle and glare from the hot Queensland sun reflects into my eyes and I reach for my sunglasses and pull my large-brimmed hat even further down my face.
On vacation, visiting family in Far North Queensland at the absolute hottest time of the year, my thoughts ramble. I remininice about the time when my babies were the same age as this little grandson I’m holding in my arms. The memories are like ghosts and it seems as if that time when I was a young mother, over fifty years ago, never really happened; I feel like a completely different person. I attempt to harness anecdotes and facts about my kid’s childhoods and relate them over dinner with my adult children, who are together with me in the same city location for the first time for many years. It is simply serendipitous we’re all here in Cairns together for a few days. After many failed attempts to reunite, it just seemed to just happen that everyone was available in 2025 to spend a weekend away from their work and responsibilities with their siblings and mother.
When I’m back home in Perth I’ll sit on the couch with my husband, who’s not well enough to make the journey, and I’ll try to make him feel as if he’d been there with us with photos and videos. But it won’t be quite the same.
