We go through life
thinking we are the only one
who feels a certain way about things,
and then suddenly someone comes along
who feels exactly the same way.
It's the start of a beautiful friendship.

My friends: You may wonder at the length of time between posts, and this is quite simple. I've been working on a few other projects, and time simply passed me by. And of course I've become "older" just as RoseMary's NoteBook© has done - well, she IS 33 years old this year! And "she" (RoseMary's NoteBook© that is) has decided to reinvent herself once again.
There's no doubt that the world is undergoing a lot of change: from past experience, as individals, we are expected to change as well.
Is there a place for RoseMary's Notebook© in 2024? I'm an optimist and I believe that women - whatever age, size or shape© - often need the encouragement of other women who understand the issues of discrimination (yes, even today), bullying (our young women can verify this problem); domestic abuse (which still reigns supreme in many homes around the world) and loneliness (especially in older years).
Motivation and encouragement are essential for a healthy attitude. It's not that we are expected to be "jolly" all the time; smiling and laghing all the time; optimistic all the time.
So this little blog will continue to highlight encouraging and supportive ideas combined with fun/serious issues; adding to the enjoyment of a woman's life. Based, I might say, on simple, effective, no-nonsense opinions/suggestions some of which may be considered old-fashioned but have been successful in the past.
So I'll put my 'thinking cap' on, and will ponder just exactly what the next "post" will be about. Keep safe and well.
'til then ...
