Re-Invention --- of Moi!

Every so often, when I least expect it, I change.  I don't always see it coming, sometimes it is a surprise and sometimes it is like a big weight has been lifted off me.

Right now the biggest change is that I have quit wearing most makeup.  I never wore a lot but as I have aged I have worn more trying to regain my youth.  Ok, you can quit laughing now, it wasn't THAT funny.  It is something that has been coming on gradually.  I have been omitting steps a little more at a time until here I am -- a little eye makeup and  a little lip balm -- bam! I am done.  I love it.  With that said, the skincare routine has been upped which has made such a difference.  I am very comfortable with my decision.

I have also morphed into wearing a formula wardrobe.  I read a blog written by a woman who does this and it makes sense.  Of course, she is tiny and attractive (and has also quit wearing makeup -- yes, her blog influenced me) but her approach is very do-able even if you aren't tiny and attractive.  So, my colors are black, white, gray and navy.  Throw in some splashes of turquoise and red (I love to carry a red handbag) and I am good.  But what makes it different for me right now is I am looking for thin t-shirts.  This is new for me.  I normally wouldn't wear something like that but I have a Girl Scout jersey that is thin and it feels so good so I thought......yeah, a new me!

That isn't all that has changed.  I am finally taking time, again, to do some of the things I like to do -- like card making!  I finally got all my supplies organized and I sat down to make my oldest granddaughter a birthday card.  She has now reached double digits and likes to dance so this is what I came up with.






So, what do you think?  I have another done that I will post at a later date.

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
