This was nearly me today

snow

I have just spent a lovely weekend with fellow Reiki practitioners in rural Oxfordshire – and it was nearly ruined when it started snowing at 8 am this morning and continued snowing heavily for the next 4 hours.  It caused me, and several of my companions, considerable stress as it looked as if we might be stranded there for another day/night.

It’s 2013 and even rural England isn’t that far from mainstream civilisation, and yet there we were panicking at the prospect of being forced to spend another night in what was, in fact, a beautiful location.

We are indeed a strange people, us Brits!

2012 was a year of major change for me. I turned 65 and gave up full time work and decided to build up my work as a Reiki practitioner and also to spend more time writing - a neglected hobby I have enjoyed since I was at school. The one thing I did not do is RETIRE. Since then I have trained as a civil celebrant, taking funerals and conducting baby naming ceremonies so life definitely began for me at 65! That was 8 years ago and I still haven't retired :) I continue to take funerals, as well as write for pleasure (and maybe one day publication...). I am a firm believer in staying mentally active even if physically it gets harder with age. 2020 has been a challenging year for us all, no matter what our age, but we need to stay positive. We only get one go at this life, so don't waste it!
