Hey sisters! About becoming that crone.... [View all]

Yeah that's me. Am I the only one that doesn't recognize myself when I catch my reflection in a window? It's amazing and feels so free. I'm invisible as competition, or a sex object...I'm just a little (Even with calcium I'm shrinking) old lady now and people smile at me. Wow!

No pressure, I'm loving it!

I used to get way too much attention (know what I mean?) and I like this part of getting older. I don't think I was all that and I don't want to come off that way but I like being invisible. Maybe I'm weird because my sisters (2) are very into face lifts etc. I'm not and that's just fine.

We are all different and I wish all of us the best.

Just thought I'd say hello...I haven't felt like talking for quite a while but I've been here.
