(((((sunsetsunrise)))))--and all others who have replied here--hugs------

Evening! I know that's a picture of you on your blog-----sunsetsunrise speaks the truth........you know, when I was your age, no one could tell me I was "pretty" either.

All the abuse had taken its' toll--and you've been negated as a PERSON for most of your life!!! I was too.

No, I won't try to convince you otherwise; however, I will tell you this:

Now, at my ancient age, I have young girls in their thirties asking me how I can look so good when I haven't even changed my clothes, or taken a shower to go out to the dog park. I'm 55 Evening!!!

I had to learn to feel good in my own skin. Doesn't matter what I wear, or anything else; People feel at ease with me, just because I feel at ease with myself.

These young girls--they look older than I do, and they ask me "How?"

Yes, sunsetsunrise said it all in her last sentence---You have to heal from the inside out---I did.
So incredibly talented, so intelligent, so fun, I enjoy you for who you are-love who you are------------this will pass.many hugs--theo

You love the music of my generation--did you ever hear Jefferson Airplane --Grace Slick sing "You're Only Pretty as You Feel"? or "There's One Thing You Can't Hide---
It"s When You're Crippled Inside"?---love You!!!

You Survived!!!!!!! How amazing is that???!!!! How STRONG is that???!!!
