I can't even talk about teeth. I'd be a rich woman if I still had all the money I've put in my mouth. I'm so grateful when others pick up on this subject and help to break the silence on getting old. I was frustrated in the years I researched aging before I started Time Goes By. There is hardly any useful, popular writing about it that isn't clinical or about disease and debility or soppy or filled with false heartiness. I've learned a hundred times more about what it's like to get old from comments at my blog and posts like this. "How can we welcome the changes that come? By realizing that they connect us to others, to our family and friends, to the past and the present." I love that. Thanks, Julie. Ah, teeth, Julie. I can’t even talk about teeth.

I love that. Thanks, Julie.

"But as we break the patterns and taboos to talk about what's happening inside us, emotionally, physically, spiritually, we discover we are not alone, and we bless other travellers who are beside, ahead or behind us in the journey of life." I shall make that the quote of the day!. As usual - a beautiful post. Julie, thanks for the link.
