I am Retired. At 70y/o I live in a nursing home. I am an author having published one book have another- my memoirs in the process of publication and have the sequel to #1 almost finished. I have written several short stories and poems. I enjoy jewellery making and silk ribbon embroidery which I don't have much time for now. I am active in many social sites. I take reat delight in my 3 children and 9 grandchildren. I live in Traralgon now but will be moving back to Bairnsdale to be closer to my family. I have 2 brothers who are in Geelong and Lara whom I do not see enough of. As is the case with many parents with children and family further afield and unable to see them very much. hat seems to be the way of the world now. We are lucky that none of our family live overseas as is the case with many. I enjoy interacting with other authors and bloggers and invite all to blog or visit my site at any time. There will be plenty to see. I have just had a rebuild of my website and am very pleased with the various blogs and articles which have been added. Welcome all. My favourite saying is keep smiling as smiles are like ripples in a pond which spread out and touch everything as they grow. Smiles touch souls in this way. You never know what good that smile can do for someone. One favourite story is of a man who was going away to commit suicide, but as her walked along this lady smiled at him. He wrote in a newspaper that whoever the lady was, she should know how she had unknowingly saved his life A True story. So you never know. I have heard other similar stories. I know its hard to smile when you are in pain, but we must all make a conscious effort to try our best. All the best every one Welcome to my site and keep smiling.
