I don't know that I really feel my age. I feel very lucky actually. I have love in my life and am surrounded by good family and friends. My kids are great and Neil and I are happy 27 years later.  I know weight is much harder to get off these days and I require a little more sleep but otherwise life is good. I live in a wonderful community and love my home. I am so grateful for all I have. Hopefully 44 will be as good to me as 43 was.
