Perfectly said Lina, and representative of many of us ‘older’ folk. 😉💕

Beautiful, Lina. I remember as a child, telling a beautiful older woman who seemed to always smile, "I want to have wrinkles on my eyes just like yours when I grow up!" Now, at our age, we've earned every one!

Every wrinkle tells a story. And I am so glad you share yours!! Makes me smile, and yes, then you see my wrinkles too!!

Why did this make me cry within 30 seconds of starting reading it? I think it's just the honesty of the humanity in it. So lovely, Lina, thank you for touching my heart.

Wow. A truly multidimensional and transcendent piece of writing that I think also reflects back to us something of ourselves. Keep shining, keep writing Lina 😇

serendipity! I’m sitting out on my patio having my first sip of coffee with my kitty when my phone dings and it’s a sub stack alert from you and this wonderful reflection! We are lucky, aren’t we?💕
