Well you should know from my posts that sometimes we DO tell. Though we don't mention names. Except for my dear poor husband. And as far as appreciation I know I am less selfish as far as what is in it for me and so more willing for it to be just about them.
This is all nice and stuff, celebrating the beauty of aging, but the true beauty is what being able to see her, really SEE her, says volumes about the person looking and judging.
We are seeing her through a window that only the souls who see other's souls are privy to.
Me too. I think you are one small step away from really being a content soul. We all have to walk through that dark valley you are in. Come into the light, and watch Poltergeist again.
