A Month of Gratitude 2024: Day 30

Two more sleeps until 2024 is over.  What a year it has been!  I am very excited to see what 2025 holds though. 

I got a call to say that my son has shingles this afternoon.  His poor grandparents were up with him most of last night, but thankfully, he is feeling a lot better already. I am so grateful that it wasn’t anything more serious. It’s always such a shock when he gets sick as he has an excellent immune system.  The doctors don’t know us that well because they hardly ever see us. 😂

I am also counting down to my fifty-second birthday on the seventh.   I sometimes sit and think about how old my mum seemed to feel once she hit her fifties.  That was the norm for her generation, though.  I am very very grateful that I get to enjoy my fifties inspired by the generation ahead of me.  Celebrities like Halle Berry and Viola Davis who are turning what it means to be getting older on it’s head.  I love that social media is filled with women who are over forty, who are embracing their age and looking fabulous.  Some are launching modelling careers in their fifties and sixties!  It is so cool to be older now.  I am blessed!

That’s it from me today.  Thanks for popping by. I hope you have had a great day.

Bye for now
