@merpreb Merry I read this "... but still have to chase parts of my body on their downward road and wonder when that happened! Is this really me in the mirror?" and it made me laugh. Last week, our daughter was telling us she calls her younger son "Daddy's Mini-me" and had to explain to her 4 year old that means he looks like Daddy. He asked he's like, and she said "Grandma Sue." He ran and looked in the mirror and "No! I don't look like her!" Sometimes I too look in the mirror and think "I don't look like her" - too many creases and wrinkles, too much gray...
But like you, I am here, I am enjoying life, albeit more slowly, and I want to keep going as long as I can.
Sue

@sueinmn- Good morning Sue. I like a slower pace even if I find it hard to sit still. After so many years of living it's time for reflection too. I have no idea if there is an afterlife. If there is, then I want to have learned my life lessons about my journey so it wouldn't have been just an evolutionary process.
