I'm not an idealist here because I know what arthritic pain or chronic backache or speech impediments after a stroke have done to the quality of life of women in the village in their 60s. Health is a gift as we get older and that, along with freedom from depression or mental illness, counts for more than anything.Mary LAhttp://louisey.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-34988278598425596022012-04-26T17:29:43.478-06:002012-04-26T17:29:43.478-06:00Sigh...that's all I've got...sigh.Sigh...that's all I've got...sigh.SoberMomWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845259535764391849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-31128866479817459582012-04-26T10:56:05.449-06:002012-04-26T10:56:05.449-06:00I still get fired up about looking younger, but no...I still get fired up about looking younger, but not as much as I used to.
