Cyndi this substack was so timely & well written it brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing your thoughts & journey on growth & aging. I was especially moved with regard to the comment "the habit of thinking your body is going to get back to how it once was", & how that is not happening.....oh, how I can relate! And how special for you to have allowed us to view your photo's, all of which are beautiful! You are such an inspiration, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all you do!!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your journey through life. I could relate to a lot of it and have finally started to accept my body for all it's glory knowing it will shape shift for many years to come, if I am lucky enough! It only took me 50 years to get here and having you as one of my teachers has been a big part in my journey. Thank you!

You look beautiful at 70..and your list to contemplate is thought provoking especially being 69! Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Brenda

oh I so relate to feeling that I have to "get back" to the way I was. what a painful delusion! also - there was an edition of "our bodies ourselves" called "ourselves growing older". it's way out of print but decades ago it really helped my mom as she aged. thanks for sharing _/\_
