I Choose How I Will Spend the Rest of My Life
I am so glad you found your way to my blog.
Over the coming weeks, months and hopefully, years, I want to share with you all that I have found about staying young in both mind and body.

Grandsons (and girlfriends) 2018
There is so much information available these days on every subject and I wanted to add my own experiences and comments to those sharing their experiences on the subject.
So please come with me on my journey. My plan is to write a blog most days but sometimes I am called upon to be Granma or G to my grandsons. I may have to miss the blog on those days.
I would love to hear from you. What you think about my journey and more importantly, about your journey.
You can leave a comment on my blog or contact me on judith@judithbaxter.net.nz
“Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.” — Max Lucado
Look forward to hearing from you.
Update -2019 and the original plan of a blog a day lasted for almost two years. Then life got n the way and blogging has had to take aback seat. But I still write occasionally.

Judith … just heard about an earthquake near Christchurch. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. You are in my thoughts.

Hello Lenore Diane. Thank you for your concern. I have some of my family – son daughter in law and their two children about 300 miles from where the quake was centered. Cellphone coverage is not good where they are but I have sent them a text. No serious damage anywhere has been reported, no loss of life and only minor injuries. We in NZ are certainly being looked after by someone or something. The people in Christchurch and the surrounds must wonder when it will ever stop.
Again, thanks for thinking of us at this time. 🙂
