You are both so wise.
PJ, I am completely in agreement with you on the "age inside" thing. My avatars are usually from my early 30's, because that how old I feel...except on the days when the arthritis flares up, the wrinkles seem huge and the energy flags. (Sometimes I look in the mirror and say "All right what did you do with her? Bring her back now!!!" It never works :'( I also try to be mature, but sometimes I am just not!
And MJ your comments are so true and they remind me to be grateful for what I have. I do believe we have what we have and get what we get when we need it most if we are willing to embrace and use it.
I do so look forward to meeting the wise women on this thread someday.
