Knowing these things, I came away feeling more empowered and a better understanding of where I'm at. I learned how I can help myself better, moving through this glorious time of life. You've helped me view it like that. As you said, not everyone makes it this far and its an honour. I'm going to stop moaning about it, like it's a disease. I'm ready to get my Crone on and rock these next few years!!
