Hopefully, the day you are reading this is a wonderful day! I think, for most of us, if we look back over our lives, there are many more good days than bad. However, if today is not such a good day, remember, tomorrow the page of life will turn. Life is full of twists and turns…

I have worked hard to make my single life pretty amazing, so I am not sure whether I would ever want to fall in love again. Living on your own can be wonderful… and so liberating! But if I did, I would like to make a contract, something I think would have been life changing…

I have never been a save-your-best-clothes-for-special-occasions kind of girl, happily gardening in a party dress or walking down the shopping aisles in something glittery. Now that I am over 60, I don’t have enough years left to keep things for Sunday Best. :)
