make like wine and get deeper and tastier and more complex
I was reading through my birthday cards and most of them made some little joke about getting older and me still high from my post MRI new lease on life appointment wondered why we all have a tendency to harp on aging in such a negative way. I mean we're all getting older. And there's really nothing we can do about that. So I thought why not think of myself like a fine wine that gets deeper, more complex and tastier as it ages. And not just me. All of you too. What do you think?
and did you notice someone lightened my cartoon hair and I didn't even have to go to the hairdresser...

Happy Birthday! So far I haven't minded getting older. My life is going pretty good. Now in the later years when incontinence is an issue I may feel differently- but a few wrinkles? Pffft adds to my charm
Hello!
I found your blog while looking up resources for breast cancer patients, and thought you might be interested in a woman who's taken a pretty unique path in her own cancer battle. Meg Gaffney is a nurse, and when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to skip chemotherapy and radiation, and go right to a bilateral mastectomy. But when her plastic surgeon recommended a skin graft surgery to build up new nipples, she decided to incorporate art into her own personal healing process.
For Meg, that means getting nipples tattooed onto her body instead of the graft surgery, and now -- after months of searching for an artist willing to take on her challenge -- she's about to get the work done!
We're 8 parts into a documentary on Meg, which is featured on GrowingBolder.com. I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!

Meg is dynamic, creative, and completely committed to ridding the world of cancer, and her spirit is contagious.
Thanks for your time, and best luck in your own journey!
