Life Reset with Tass Schmidt

Such a gorgeous couple of weeks with some of my family in the Northern Territory. We all, so looked forward to the trip and now it's over...for this time. And that's the thing...now we have a next time to look forward to. For me as I age I be am mindful of being actively present in my beautiful life each day and that includes constructing things to look forward to. Bending fantasy or day dreams into reality.

One way of keeping someone alive, is to keep them present in my thoughts and talk with them. Today, poolside in Dundee Beach NT, I cheers my darling friend Vernie who left us 11 weeks ago today.

And now for something new. Fishing. I'm hooked. I'm imaging a camper trailer, a few rods, a beach, cooking a fish over camp fire with just Poppy dog, me and some nice music. Thoughts of this are fueling my fantasies in Dundee Beach today.
I love my life as it is today and also excited about what there is to look forward to and work toward. For me this underpins happy ageing.

I find myself in situstions. Imeaurable beauty.

If you can't do whatever the hell takes your fancy as you get older, well when can you? Don't limit yourself with shoulds and shouldn'ts. If you want to have beers around the pool at lunch time, flirt with a young man and then, eat loads of carbs, walk around in swimmers, lose yourself in daydreams, aspire, forge a new life, do something you've always wanted to do, dress up and take yourself out somewhere smart, whatever...give it a go, you know you want to.

So totally gorgeous spending time away with some my family at Crab Claw about an hour and half west of Darwin. A Boating Camping Fishing time. I realised a couple of years back that these opportunities, well I've
just got to do. And as I'm getting older, just like the rest of you, I for one am not going to miss out on anything.
Things I know for sure:
- one day will be my last
- one day my beloveds' will have their last
- ever day is a blessing

I enjoy a sleep in on Saturday mornings when mum heads to an early gym sessiom. She'll be home soonish to pick me up and we'll go out for a coffee.
