We've had a few crises over at my place and am so glad to finally be jumping into all of your delightful posts (look out, I'm back! muwahahah). My blog was full of deep and thoughtful until one day I went off the ... um... shallow end? I don't know whether it was my daugther's silliness rubbing off or my real self coming out, but whatever it was I could not write something serious if my blog depended on it! So, I wrote a string of silly posts. They made me laugh and giggle and laugh again. Now I'm back on track to finding my voice. I think that is what this blog journey is about--finding YOUR voice. Not the voice of the blogs you adore, or the blogs you wish to emulate, but YOU. Aidan, I am so happy to have found YOU and your blog. Oh, Aidan, I’ve missed you.

I realized I needed a shallow end when I turned 50! I do believe that the 'shallow end,' as you describe it is what can help give us the creative edge. Julia Cameron speaks about artist's date in her wonderful book "The Artist's Way!" Who said that shopping for stilettos or going blond and bold can't be your artists date? Enjoy Good for you.

The serious and the silly. The complex and the simple. The frivolous and the sensible. You betcha! Give that girl some bling! Oh yes, the delicate but essential yin-yang balance of life again.

What a tremendous and healthy revelation, a recognition that it is healthy to just have fun! It's easy to lose ourselves because there are so few moments that we actually get ourselves. Sometimes I remind myself, it would be a good idea to just sit and watch smut on tv. Mindless smut does the mind good sometimes. :-) So excited to read more!

I feel like I just really hit my stride in my forties (I'm glad I didn't know that earlier!) and now, turning 50 on Sunday (yes) I have to say, my fit, healthy body gives me a lot of joy! It's kind of amazing to realize that being fit changed my whole experience of aging; it means a whole different kind of 50 than what I ever imagined, and completely different than what was experienced by both my mother and my grandmothers. That doesn't mean that I don't do real work every day, or that I don't ponder real thoughts. It means that when I head out into the world I like what I see. Now where's my People magazine? :) Well, Aidan, I’m with you.

I love it - can't wait to see what you share with us in the shallow end. Don't we all need to watch TLC, read celebrity gossip, rent the immature movie, and go shopping every once in awhile? We aren't wired to handle the deep end 100 percent of the time. I love the shallow end, especially if there's a swim-up bar nearby! Bring on the blonde!
