I am 82 years old, but keep very busy with community work with the Country Women's Association and the Arthritis Foundation.   I've had severe Arthritis for 30 years, but manage to keep happy and positive.  For relaxation I belong to a Spinners and Weavers craft group and also a Creative Writing group.  I have always loved poetry, especially the Australian bush poets, and  have had my work publlshed in magazines and recently included in two anthologies, and have won trophies in CWA competitions.   My 4 children and 7 grandchildren light up my life.   I joined WEbook to please my friend Poetlife and hope to contribute to her project.
