It's freezing at the foot of Africa and I'm finding it particularly difficult to get motivated enough to get into the gym to shake off much un-needed kilograms! I have therefore decided to embrace my voluptuous curves for the worst of winter and delay the shock of exercise for a time in the near future when it would be more seemly to strip off the outer layers of clothing and build up a sweat. I'm using lifting Chaeli several times a day as the description of my 'regular exercise programme'! I call it power lifting ...
Our elder daughter, Erin, heading towards writing her final Matric exams is more of an edventure as I learn to open my fingers even further - knowing that my beautiful first-born child is heading helter skelter into adulthood. Now that is scary: coming to the realisation that your child is fast becoming independent and making decisions without you and forging ahead in a life that she is shaping for herself. It all seems so sudden. Where did all those years of growing up go?
And as sad as I feel when I reflect on the various stages of Erin's life I can't help celebrating the emergence of an assertive, strong, beautiful young woman who has taught me so much over the past 18 years as a child and will be teaching me so much more as she spreads her wings into an unknown but exciting future.
What an adventure for all of us ...
