Gee, Lou... I finally saw this post... the reunion was fantastic! The women I went to high school with (Catholic girls school, 63 classmates, graduated 1966) are like trees that have reached full, vibrant, glowing maturity. I was dazzled by how beautiful everyone was, how confident, how accomplished, how spiritual, and especially how loving. The room was just vibrating with love... it was unbelievable and way exceeded my expectations. Several have written books, several are CEO's or head partners in their companies, many self-employed or own their own businesses. (Of course my bf WAS the best looking guy there- LOL! And he was a great date... very charming, talked to lots of people, didn't act bored, didn't keep looking at his watch or anything. )
Lou, I assure you, these women, though a couple of years shy of 60, are sexy, fun, radiant, and brimming over with Life Force! (BB's stuff about being "too old" is HER stuff-- NOT typical in my experience.)
I also wanted to bump my thread up to the top for the benefit of newcomers. There's some really good stuff here that I gleaned from many sources. Neanderthal, I think you'll find some of the stuff on control interesting. I may quote a bit of it on your thread.
