Don't know why. I simply don't notice these things unless there's been a terribly dramatic change. So for what it's worth, what I behold is charm, honestly, kindness, a twinkle of irascibility, and love -- not sure what can be more beautiful than that?Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372015226222285350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-16515210517046145322014-12-27T20:44:38.294-06:002014-12-27T20:44:38.294-06:00I think you look precious.

It has become thin and is like crepe--Spotty and spottier patches incresape at an alarming pace. I am fine with my hair going white...not so fine with how thin it has become. I stamp my feet and shake my fists, but my collsgen depletion matches my waning estrogen.0' and hating it doesnt seem to stop the process. i want very much to embrace it as if it were an honored marker of the status of age, but this is a youth worshiping culture...and I simply feel marginalized.
