Look good, feel better
Sorry, I deleted what I wrote earlier as I thought I was writing a personal blog. I am still having trouble posting private blogs. My settings are set at private but my blogs post as public. I was having a bit of a down day so I hope I didn't upset anyone.

Mini Field of Women in Sunny Rockhampton
We had the best day. I was easily noticed in the pink tutu. My husband wants me to throw it out "You'll never wear it again" Bull.... it will show up again even if it is only to dance around with my little granddaughter.

It is frustrating that most of the papers get imajor details wrong but we have to accept what they put in and hope it reaches someone who needs to contact a supporter. I rocked up to the gym to address a class..... thought there would be 20 but there…
