Dear Janet, I so appreciate your vulnerability and the grace with which you write your life. I’ll be 62 in a week and thanks to my genes I still look (and feel most of the time) in my late 40s. AND I bruise easier now and I have less hair and am, as I have always been, still critical of my body. Fuck that. Yes, we’re getting older. Thank God we are. I don’t want to be young again. Not before my 40s anyway. You and I have worked really hard to be the people we are now. And you (and I) are beautiful.
And yes, moisturize! Always moisturize!
Beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. Sending you a big hug
