Is this thing on?!?

 Today I wanted to start off by introducing myself. 

I am a Mom and just recently became a Grandmother.

I am a nurse of over 20 years. I started this blog to feel things out a bit. 

At the ripe age of 47 I feel a little forgotten by society. I move around the world pretty much unnoticed. There has been a shift in the way society sees me. I am often called Ma’am when out and about. Does anyone realize how old this makes me feel!?! I understand it’s considered a respectful way to greet a women, but come on!! Have I really become the older women?!? I was out at the grocery store when I felt someone looking at me. I look up to see a man looking at me with a big smile on his face. He has a head full of grey hair and I wonder what this old man could possibly be looking at me for!?! I grabbed what I needed and left the store only to think back on this encounter to realize that this man is likely my age!! When did this happen!?! I don’t feel like I have moved into this age group. I have so far retained my natural hair colour and have tried to look after my skin. I don’t feel like I’m old. When did this shift happen I wonder?

I have decided to start a blog today. I have no idea if anyone will read it, but I wanted to have somewhere to put my thoughts. 

I hope you get on board with me as I start this journey.
