So of course, I think I'm way too young to be feeling like this and stubbornly try to get back my svelte teenage self while my body screams in protest--<br /><br />I heard a quote once: "Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until it fades."<br /><br />Truer words...Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644543525281211900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-34110700189679276202009-04-17T23:12:00.000-06:002009-04-17T23:12:00.000-06:00Do you read More magazine?

I have osteoporosis, I've had my knee rebuilt, I am post menopausal and I faint if I stand up too quickly. I have a wheelchair, walker and a cane. We put an elevator in our home because I can no longer use stairs. Aging stinks. I have been thinking about letting my hair go natural gray ala Jaime Lee Curtis. Either that or platinum blonde so I can't see the gray so quickly. I go back and forth about fighting aging or just allowing it to happen gracefully. Whatever that means.dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336225169297736488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-17790509979170360172009-04-17T18:29:00.000-06:002009-04-17T18:29:00.000-06:00P.S.

But, you know, you and Sherie look great in that first picture! What are you worried about.<br /><br />What I want to know is why most little old ladies wear sweaters in the middle of summer when its 95 degrees!! I can't wear a sweater in the middle of winter when its 20. When do I get to be cold?<br /><br />I love the "Middle Ages" books you found. :8-)<br /><br />Remember how OLD Mrs. Beecher seemed while we were at Wm Penn?
