NATIONAL WOMEN’S HEALTH AND FITNESS DAY
September 27 is National Women’s Health & Fitness Day. It is the nation’s largest annual health promotion event for women of all ages. Seeing I am not the greatest example of supersonic health and fitness in Midlife (as I mentioned in Monday's post!), I thought I'd ask my great friend, and fellow blogger, Sue - from Sizzling Towards 60 and Beyond to share some of her thoughts on this important subject.WHY IS EXERCISE SO HARD?

THE ELLIPTICAL TORTURE DEVICE
If you read my blog on a reasonably regular basis, you may have read the post I put up a while ago about buying an Elliptical Exercise Machine. It was the next step in trying to keep my Midlife weight gain under control - sometimes it feels like I'm fighting a losing battle and I thought this machine might be the answer to my prayers.SUMMER AND WINTER THOUGHTS

THOUGHTS ABOUT SUMMER AND WINTER
I've realized that on my personal FB page I'm all about making Winter feel like Summer. I guess that sums up my personality (most of the time!) I've been through my fair share of Winters and grey times, and in the process I've learned that I like sunny days better. But if there's going to be rain - the least I can do is dance in it (especially if the one I love dances with me).MIDLIFE - FROM INVISIBLE TO FULL ON

MIDLIFE - THINGS HAVE CHANGED
Another of the questions I've been asking myself lately is why has the Midlife pendulum swung so far? It seems in the last decade or so we've gone from completely invisible to being gung-ho and full speed ahead.Have you noticed that every Midlifer seems to be on an adventure? They are traipsing all over the world, running marathons, writing blogs, starting new businesses, throwing big birthday parties, and generally living life on a large scale.
NATIONAL WIFE APPRECIATION DAY

NATIONAL WIFE APPRECIATION DAY
National Wife Appreciation day is celebrated on the third Sunday in September (the 17th in this case) - I don't post on a Sunday, but I couldn't resist celebrating this one a day late (instead of National Cheeseburger Day!)In keeping with the concept of the day, I thought "who better to ask to write about wife appreciation than my own beloved husband?" He tentatively accepted the challenge and took his life in his hands to write about this very sensitive topic! I hope you enjoy reading his thoughts as much as I did - it was a pretty honest account - not sugar coated (unfortunately) but from the heart and that's what really counts isn't it?
NATIONAL FELT HAT DAY

NATIONAL FELT HAT DAY
Friday the 15th September is National Felt Hat Day - and I couldn't resist having a little look back at the very few times I've ever been able to wear anything that remotely resembled a warm hat. In Australia our Winters are so mild that there's virtually no need to dig out a hat so the only opportunity I've had so far is when we visited Europe.NATIONAL POSITIVE THINKING DAY

NATIONAL POSITIVE THINKING DAY
The 13th of September is National Positive Thinking Day, and it's all about attitude.... a positive attitude.The power of positive thinking is amazing - medical studies have shown that people with a positive attitude are healthier and fight illness more effectively than others. Also, people with a "can-do" attitude, are far more likely to succeed at work, and in accomplishing the goals they set in life. They're also nice to have around and bring joy to those they interact with. A positive person lifts the spirits of those they connect with on a daily basis.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FACEBOOK FEED?
Monday 11 September 2017
THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF FACEBOOK
My Facebook feed used to be a place where I caught up on the news from my family and friends. It used to be a place where I saw engagement pics, wedding photos, new babies and their parents and grandparents. I got to follow along in the wake of those who were off on fabulous overseas holidays, or just on a weekend away in the countryside. It was a chance to celebrate happy events with people I care about.WISHING FOR MORE? OR LESS?

THOUGHTS FROM OTHERS
Sometimes I come across someone else's thoughts and they make me stop and consider. I love it when I read something another person has written and it strikes a chord in me and gets me thinking about things a little more deeply. There's nothing like being challenged and inspired by someone who takes me on a journey with them and leaves me feeling like I've grown a little more in life.NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY

NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY
The 6th of September is National Read a Book Day - and there's nothing I like more than reading a great book. In fact, I think I probably churn through two or three a week - and I especially love it when a favourite author puts out a new book.HOW FULL IS MY GLASS?

HOW FULL IS MY GLASS
One of the questions I've been asking myself lately is to do with the old 'glass half full' concept. It seems we always focus on the glass being half full or half empty, but what if we thought about how full our individual glass actually was?NATIONAL NO RHYME (NOR REASON) DAY

WHAT'S NEW ON THE BLOG FOR SEPTEMBER?
Over the month of September I thought I'd change things up a bit and:1) I'd throw in a few National Days and how they apply to me in Midlife. I even have my beloved husband doing a guest post on one (with a little gentle persuasion from me), and also one of my favourite bloggers doing another towards the end of the month on a National Day that is close to her heart.
2) I'd discuss a few questions that I've been pondering lately - Midlife Musings!
3) I'd do a bit of an overview of life at the moment - while we share a virtual coffee.
But to get started, the first cab off the rank for September is:
