We have come to the conclusion that they have nothing to prove in life. They are who they are, not trying to impress. It is refreshing! There is something definatly *classy* about growing older. Hopefully it becomes the *ride of our life!*<BR/>Happy New Year!

Well, have you read _many_ books by Veronique Vienne? I love them. She also, says these things so well.<BR/><BR/>And how is the 'French Chic' Group doing these days? It's been a while since I was there. I fear, the politics put me off, there. But there were interesting aspects to belonging there, of course. :-)<BR/><BR/>'MN'smilnsighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207943167502354530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16161087.post-1167661736899589332007-01-01T06:28:00.000-08:002007-01-01T06:28:00.000-08:00Patty,I know what you mean about deciding to final...Patty,<BR/>I know what you mean about deciding to finally grow up. I just turned 50 last week, and so I've been thinking about this a lot.
