50 is the new 40, 40 is the new 30, 30
is the new 20 and what 20 we are not old enough to vote?
One thing is for sure and that is we
are all aging. But with aging grows wisdom, that you look at the
younger generation with their dreams and open world in front of them.
For me aging is something I am
embracing and finding more love and knowing of myself than ever
before. After the flash, dash, and sash of Spring Racing Carnival, I
love to feel fantastic in beautiful clothes and make myself up. The
spectacle of colour and festivity, but then I ask myself for balance.
I don't want to live Spring Carnival,
racing around everyday. I want to be mum, I want to be a wife and
the best person I can be.
This does not mean fancy clothes, fancy
car.
For me it is getting back to basics,
playing board games with my children and splashing in a pool.
Looking at nature and the colour it provides.
Over the past week with the beauty of
the tropical north I have been particularly watching the way light
falls in different ways and how I can find such beauty in listening
to nature, watching golden orb spiders, and simply looking at a
magnificent flower and how its colour's are one of a kind.
This is something that cannot be
taught, you cannot find it unless you are ready for it. I am
currently with witch doctors and Far North Queensland on concoctions
of teas and aromas to bring my chi together. I am slowly finding my
own little piece of me that I forget about when I am in the big city.
Living well drinking fine Champagne and
dining is a first class pleasure of which I am grateful for, but they
do not define the person I am. I enjoy the greatest things life has
to offer, but really they are just things. I look through magazines
and 'facebook' images of beautiful women and glorious fashion. I
would not want to be that girl in an instant as I know how
desperately hard models work and I can only hope they make their
fortune during their time so they can savour the memories and relish
in the wisdom of gracefully aging.
40 is not the new 30, 40 is simply a
number of how many times I have orbited the sun.
