It's been a while since I blogged. Maybe I'm reminiscing about days gone by, when I enjoyed blogging daily, or maybe I'm just feeling restless, itchy-footed, eager to usher in change.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not been a bad year. No one's died, I've had happy moments, but I've also had moments of self-doubt, of not knowing what happening to my body.

I'm fifty years old now, soon to be fifty-one. My fiftieth year started well, determined to grow and bloom, my positivity was soon to receive a knock in the form of episodes of heart palpitations, bigimeny, trigimeny and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia - which at one point saw me spend over a week in hospital. I went from a mood of being on top of the world to anxiety of the unknown and feeling far older than my fifty years.

I started taking beta blockers, and falling over. The first two times, I just bruised my tailbone; this most recent time, two days before I took the photo that appears in the background of this post, I fractured my elbow.

Sharing daily thoughts, images, and fleeting ideas seems almost frivolous, but I find myself in a time when frivolity is what's needed. Regroup and move forward, with all the positivity I had this time last year.
