Lovely writing Abha : ) My mum is in her 70's and when a peer of hers described herself as "elderly" I thought that's a word my mum would never use about herself. In her mind she's as sharp and present as she's ever been and because she doesn't think of herself as old she really isn't.

Beautifully written Abha! I would not trade my wrinkles and wisdom to be younger. I have earned every stretch mark, every wrinkle, every bit of cellulite that I have. It comes packaged with a much greater acceptance of myself and an ability to value myself in a way that I just did not know how to in my youth. This has made for a happier me, a more stable (professionally and personally) me and a more authentic me.
