and yet, there is a freedom in growing older for woman. What we do or don't do (hair/makeup/teeth/clothing) we do for us, not for anyone else. Some days I need to feel put together and others a shower is enough. I'm enjoying this new freedom.

Yes, me too. That's the "invisible" factor that some women complain about. I don't mind invisibility much.

I sometimes console myself with the change in the mirror that it's harder to hit a moving target.

It is always a pleasure to be here, reading your stuff, whatever I look like.

I feel the same, Irene. Even if it's just a facade sometimes, it helps.

Oh this is so true! How many times have I looked in a mirror at the mall and for a split second didn’t recognize the woman looking back. Who is the old woman? In my mind I always expect to see a younger me.🤷🏼‍♀️

It must be very common, Jeanette. At least we're not alone with it!
