Or in photos with friends, my contemporaries from school years, "are we really 70 years old?" Other times, there's the positive, a compliment while working out or somewhere, "really you cannot be 71 years old?" Oh yes I can and am. The response, "well you don't look it." And I think back to what I heard years ago from I can't recall whom, "yes this is me, I am 71 and this is how 71 looks."<br />Pat's Posts https://www.blogger.com/profile/14874413075596466636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-65824153097533056502016-08-16T16:56:00.796-04:002016-08-16T16:56:00.796-04:00"I don't feel very different," she s..."I don't feel very different," she said, "I know it's strange. I guess I've gotten used to all these little aches and pains. But I still love to dance. You know we used to dance the night away...back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yes."<br /><br />Some lyrics from "Back When we were Beautiful" sung by Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell. Look it up, it's really on target for women our age.<br /><br />"I hate it when they say I'm aging gracefully. I fight it every day, I guess they never see. I don't like this at all, what's happening to me."<br /><br />But at least we do have our priorities right.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-62469155824202319132016-08-16T16:37:45.684-04:002016-08-16T16:37:45.684-04:00Dont want tos sound weird but I looked at myself i...Dont want tos sound weird but I looked at myself in the mirror the other day and saw my skeleton.

For me it is spouse, family, friends, home that are important.

Do you remember ...Dear Vicki, I am there with you.<br /><br />Do you remember a book from a while back by Gail Sheehy, called Passages? I read it when I was in my early 30s and thought she was on to something. As the decades have drifted by, I realize that such passages can take place stealthily. Life is such an interesting progression.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-3423201469097319332016-08-16T08:28:13.630-04:002016-08-16T08:28:13.630-04:00I'm going with wisdom.
