Perfect example of the angst that many women have in their battle against life's inevitable and ultimately unwinnable process of ageing (despite any amount of 'Products' that they slap on). Made me chuckle though. Enjoyed it.

This excellent piece certainly put aging in proper perspective expressing it all in a few effective words! I am still trying to come to grips with all the negative aspects of aging and it isn't easy:-). Well done! Pandita

Cecilia; This is good. I myself try not to worry about age. What bothers me is the aches and pains. Did you ever read my poem ( When We Get Old )? Don't worry. Some people have beauty - we have wisdom.... Lucilla
