Have I lost all sense of self ?

I have suspected this for a long time.  Was it when I 'settled down' with The Daddy ?  Was it when I gave up work due to builders taking over my home which was also my work place ?  Or was it the arrival of The Star ?

Well, whenever it was, the fact that I have now begun blogging is proof that this state of mind is not in my imagination..  You see, for those of you that don't know Geriatric Mummy, I'm a very private person.  In fact I'm not even particularly sociable.  I like my own company and like to keep my thoughts to myself.  Unless I think they are particularly interesting thoughts of course. Or helpful thoughts.  I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm not very good at 'chit chat' or talking mindless drivel for the sake of it and it seems that is what we as a society do much of the time.

So, here I am writing a blog about mostly me and what I think.  I hope it will make interesting reading for some of the people, some of the time.  And of course, in my moments of doubt, or the re-emergence of the previously thought lost 'private' self, and can be comforted with the thought that for most of those out there in the blogosphere I remain anonymous...
