I want to be a Dandelion

Dandelions are resilient.
No matter how many times they are pulled out of the ground, or burned with pesticide - they grow back. In fact, they grow anywhere, regardless of the conditions. Powerful and strong!
That's what I want to be. I am done with being such a whiny orchid. I want to be powerful and strong like a dandelion!
For the next 6 months I am going to build on my physical strength, and work on being powerful in character. 
At the very least, I will regain upper body definition. At the most, when I look in the mirror I will see the legacy of strength left to me by my mom.

Baba's Legacy

Today would have been my grandmother's 99th birthday. Also this year, I am the age she was when I was born. 
Being her first grandchild, I was the lucky one to receive all of her attention and love. She lavished me with songs, stories, play and delicious foods. Even as other grandchildren arrived, my Baba and I continued to share a very special relationship. 
The happiest memories of my childhood were  with my Baba. Playing at the park, running barefoot at her farm and her patiently repeating my favourite story, as we walked to our next shopping destination in Roncesvalles, Toronto. 
She fascinated me with stories about her childhood and  her grandparents. My young mind just couldn't imagine my Baba as a child with her own baba. I also remember telling her how she would never grow old. Old people were boring and she was so much fun!
My Baba has been gone for 16 years. The greatest gifts she left me are forever treasured in my heart. One day, if I am lucky enough, I too will be a loved grandmother and my Baba's legacy will continue.

    Rather than experience this aging crisis alone ... I am inviting you to join in on the fun! I am on my way to 50 years of age. As I journey towards that 50th birthday, I will share my daily thoughts, triumphs, and disappointments. Don't worry it is not going to be all that good or polished - just honest, raw, and perhaps a bit of a train wreck.
    Why share? Good question! In case there is someone out there also struggling with aging and would enjoy a laugh and connection. I assure you there will be no preaching. You will most likely not gain any useful tips - mmmm, maybe on what NOT TO DO.
    Enjoy
