I move the skin on the back of my hands up and down and sideways and have a silly freak out over loss of elasticity. <br /><br />And then I think the same thing: I get to have old lady skin.

I better start now.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-52266491443539566942013-11-24T09:50:39.087-08:002013-11-24T09:50:39.087-08:00You have nailed it.

Gratitude always precedes the miracle.<br /><br />Suzanne, I am so very sorry to hear your friends' horrible news. So sad. Thank you for the strong reminder to appreciate the privilege of aging. Of living. xoxo<br /><br />(I still think it;s cool you and i are the same age!)Marie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-89378218920512423092013-11-23T11:26:24.297-08:002013-11-23T11:26:24.297-08:00I'm so sorry you were having a bad day.

This post was likewise a surprise -- thank you. I am tiny, but the difference you've made in my life with this post and many others is not so tiny.
