I like the saying, "It takes courage to be who you really are."

I think as we get older it becomes easier to be who we really are, and isn't that a great feeling!

I'm with you Bear. I liked the initial post. Really, I don't much care what others think, so much as how they treat you when your hair is gray.

I notice there is much discrimination about the graying of America and GRAY HAIR. But the original post sounds nice. ATTITUDE is what it is about in everything in LIFE. C ARRY ON.

It's a well kept secret, but so true. Sure there are some drawbacks to aging but the liberation from "have tos" and "shoulds" makes it worthwhile.
