I am not old.. she said I am rare. I am the standing ovation At the end of the play. I am the retrospective Of my life as art I am the hours Connected like dots Into good sense I am the fullness Of existing. You think I am waiting to die..

Thank you Glenys for these amazing words which jolt me out of my sadness thinking of what might have been. I can celebrate what I have done, the friends I've made and the ups and downs which is life itself. As I approach my 81st birthday this is so relevant.

We live in such an interesting time and on the one hand, as women, as artists, we may have finally had the time we thought we wanted to explore our own hidden passions and art. On the other hand? Maybe there are fine lines between introspection, reflection and celebration of our lives. I thought by the time I was an old fart, I'd have the 'game' figured out. Who knew this is not the case!!! Stay safe, everyone.

Read lately that it is a strange practice in our society that when we are older, and are at our peak in terms of presence, insight and wisdom, we are shuffled into isolation in aged care facilities. After 2 generations of separation from my family elders due to employment and/or so called better opportunities, I’m hoping to be fully involved. If they’ll have me lol
