8. Having been around in the 60s I adopted an attitude regarding looks years ago. I do not do things

because the world tells me I should look a certain way. I was also lucky to have a Native American friend who taught me that grey hair means wisdom. I am damn smart now!!!

However, I have dry skin on my arms and that is not a looks issue but a health issue. I use moisturizers for dry skin. At 70 I do not have a lot of lines on my face and I wish I knew why - I could market it. Up until recently weight has been a big problem but I have diabetes and the doctor prescibed Victoza for me - it inhibits hunger so I have been losing almost too fast.

As to thinking I am old. I have 9 great grandchildren and DU. They all help me stay young.
