I was watching a film with Hallie Berry in it the other evening, and kept thinking, "I want to look like THAT!!!" LOL...Also, now, I'm one of the older female teachers, and work with a lot of young females who have great thin figures, wear heels to work (ouch!) and to whom I compare myself. I do remember being the youngest teacher, as well as the young girl on the office floor, and being treated unkindly by older women coworkers. I feel no such animosity and like these youngsters, but it still brings to mind how I've deteriorated. My daughter, age 28, size 5, talks about needing to lose weight! She is also a teacher among many older females and has said they have been mean to her.
In response to all of this, I'm hoping ot age gracefully. We will all be there someday.
Love
Patty
