Well, Kell my dear friend, I'm 72, so I guess I am finally looking and acting my age. In my mind I'm still about 39ish, but my body is deffinately 72+.

Pretty lucky to have gone thru my 30s, 40, &50s, hampered only once in awhile by MS attacks and symptoms. My DH, who thought i was still pretty and sexy thru my 50s, kept me young and appealing. After he died, all hell done broke loose.

I know exactly how you feel and it's downright depressing, if I allow it to be. Once in awhile I have a pity party as you are having now, but, in order to stay happy and still proud of myself, I have to accept and love myself the way I am now....and I do.

It still hurts when someone says to me, you've changed!!! I know exactly what they mean...I'm no longer the tall cool sexy blonde I used to be. But, inside, I still am. AND so are you Kell and all of you.
