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'm getting the aches and pains already.

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.

cathexis · 04-22-2018, 12:12 PM

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?

introverted1 · 04-28-2018, 11:24 AM

I think I'm up for a hike this morning...what are the rest of you up to today?

Lyte · 04-28-2018, 12:31 PM

I woke up earlier with a headache so thus far I've only managed to reboot my start.

I took a couple aspirin, went back to bed, just woke up and feel WAY better! Some fresh air and sun sound like a great way to go!

Chained Daisy · 04-28-2018, 01:03 PM

I`m doing some decluttering which so far has resulted in a lot of clutter.

I think I need some of Clay`s stackable totes !

I bet your craft room is very well organized my friend. I would help you..lol

I have 5 of the multidrawer stackable storage bin things....one is broken so I am emptying that one into the other 5. I have 10 actually BUT only these will fit neatly into my tiny studio apt! Good thing several are taller & skinnier and a couple wider and shorter to hold them on top...

I totally rock at this sort of project- wish I could come and help, LOL!

Well, I didn't hike today, but I have to tomorrow...the pasque flowers are blooming and I really want to see them while I can. There's a prairie in a state park not far from me.

I did manage to find a new pair of sneakers, which I need badly. Hard to find anything in my size (11), but I noticed at the shoe place today, there were even a few size 12's.

Making carrot cashew curry for supper.
