Gallery Sunshine

I love the Sunshine and I particularly love sunshine holidays at the very moment I am looking at holidays brochures and biting my fingers because I love to travel. This is from  when I went To Atlantis Palm Dubai the most amazing hotel I think I have ever been to . Every where in Dubai just oozes sunshine. I love it..

The relevance of age ?

 I see in the news certain stars are worrying about their age , I see comments telling them to stop being so vain etc. But some people are worried for a reason there is often a rhyme and reason for everything. Though for some people it is pure vanity but that's just life isn't it ? and if we were all the same the world would be a pretty boring place now.

 I know I am coming up for 40 this year the BIG 40  I suppose I should do a list of the things that I want to go and the places I want to go . I have been to lots of places so I really don't want to do that. I used to worry about my age , that I wasn't going to be the one that didn't have a party. Several people I know seem to be celebrating all year for various milestone birthday between them ( that's their call ).

And as I speak various friends etc are jetting off celebrating their special birthdays that were months ago to recreate that 'Sex in the City' feeling.

Withstanding the need to go get that 'Sex in the City feeling'

 But you have to remember to live your life for the here and now So I am nearly 40 but my Father in law is nearly 80  so really I can't spend the next 40 odd years worrying about my age now can I?
