Bei...Sorry for the rejection, but keep persevering!<br />Being a "senior" myself...I can tell you that no one ever really grows up. Some people just don't dare to act on their juvenile inner being. You will always see yourself as much younger, and are quite surprised to look in the mirror and see that older person staring back. Who in the world is she, and how did she get here without my noticing? As long as I can physically play, that's what I intend to do - until I can't, and then I will play in my mind!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-23558344254899773332012-06-08T14:28:27.439-04:002012-06-08T14:28:27.439-04:00Thank you!
