It's let's humiliate women day :-)

84. Amen!

I was one of the pretty people (it's genes. My mother was model material) except I have a big nose. I obsessed over that nose but luckily I didn't go there. I saw other pretty people grasping at staying young looking. I could see it was a shell game and as I learned to value myself, I decided to leave looks out of the equation. Thank goodness for that. My life just get's happier and easier all the time. I'm annoyed at myself for not exercising this winter (pacific northwest - little light) but not because I gained a bit but because having a strong body will keep me from breaking any more bones. And keep the one I broke last year supple. That's the sort of things I concentrate on these days.

I'm also enjoying the reflective aspect of this time. I may have started early but beginning the work of placing my whole life into a context is really interesting. The nursing textbooks say I'm taking up a task that usually occurs in the elderly. But whatever. It's interesting.
