I hear you. In my mind and in my body, I'm still officially in my mid-twenties. Except, I really do love my age, and all the things that I've learned.

One helpful factor is that I don't have any aches or pains. Nothing.

I hope I remain ache-free for a very long time...I know I'm lucky!

There was a fabulous interview of Edie Falco on Bullseye this morning. The interviewer was ticking me off a bit, he was borderline insulting in pointing out that Falco's career didn't really begin to take off until she was nearly middle-aged (in her mid-thirties! Really?).

She replied beautifully that in her opinion, her life has just gotten better and better with each decade, and that she's hitting her stride right now.

Aches and pains, bah humbug. My mom taught us all about mind over matter. She was a pro. ballerina through her 30s. Smiling through performances that I would have called "safe word" on. Her right great toe nail never did heal properly. She used to tell me stories of taping up her foot when I started in about taping ankles and wrists doing gymnastics. Made me feel like a wuss, though not her intention. Was just trying to bond.

Oh my gosh, I've have heard horror stories about the pain of ballet! Your mom was a definite trooper, cathexis.

You were a gymnast? Did you have a specialty? I can definitely see how that would be wear and tear as well.

Ballet ain't no joke. I have no idea how they do it. Props to your mom!

And very interesting that you were a gymnast. How long did you do that for?
