Well said, I am 70 and I have earned my stripes. I raised 3 children to become responsible adults, a lot of deaths in the family, I always had to be "responsible". Now I don't care who is responsible and I know for sure it isn't me. I take naps when I want to , wear my pj's all day if I want to, I am in charge of me only, what a relief that has been. I can't say I am happy about my weight, but People think I am a lot younger and I think it is because my fat fills out the wrinkles. I am taking my dream trip next summer (if I'm still here and the terrorists don't take over) and traveling where I always wanted to (England, Ireland, France, Italy and maybe more. My husband is not going, he does not like to travel. I always thought I had to travel with him, but no more. I want to go and I am going, My oldest DGD is going with me (she has been several times) and if any one else want s to go, fine, but this is my trip.
Thanks Ditter for all your jokes and your wisdom, I look for you every day.
