All the descriptions are clear, and some of them I can certainly identify with--arthritic agony and difficulty finding the right kind of chest spandex seems to be something we acquire as we grow more vintage.

But to me your face (in your profile photo) is beautiful in its warmth and gentleness as well as the still-pretty features.

I think there's wisdom in your eyes, too.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-55497930766046173822020-12-07T00:31:09.398-08:002020-12-07T00:31:09.398-08:00"to the point I didn't step on them"..."to the point I didn't step on them" made me laugh. It reminded me of Emma Thompson talking about something in her body brought about by age, and she was funny about it like you. Funny how people view physical attributes differently.

Although I never had a waist and was never able to wear skirts and pumps but then again I love trousers. What I love about getting older is that I feel confident and know what I like and want. That was quite different when I was young.
