Your words are lovely and bittersweet, much like the aging process.
I remember a time, not too long ago, when I went to lunch with a friend, a lady 30 years my junior. For the first time, I became aware that I wasn’t the one men noticed anymore. But that was okay; I’d had my time in the sun. 🙂 To everything there is a season . . .
Absolutely stunning and haunting in equal measure. I really enjoyed reading this collection of beautiful words. And the picture – the face covered in moss is breathtaking. Did you take the shot? Have a lovely weekend.
Thanks much!

Wonderful images of aging. A friend and I were talking this morning about how much fun we are having at this surprisingly good time of life.
