Chachu's blog

Age is not just a number. In my experience, age is about perception - both one's own, and that of others. I admire people and traits that are  classic and ageless.. These adapt smoothly to the calendar age of the person, without  having to shout and make a major statement about it. I am not impressed by people whose main message is Look at me! LOOK at me! WOW!! Am I not youthful?

My caring, perceptive son has created a blogspot for me. He understands that I need to communicate , as I need to breathe. He is also aware that mummy has no natural aptitude for technology.

Most of all, I need to brace myself to survive indifference and hostile criticism. I find that hard with people I know. Maybe it will sting less when complete strangers react in ways that I consider unfair. We shall have to see. I shall have to learn.
