Thanks guys, you know what 43 IS GREAT!!! I wouldn't want to be 23 again. I REALLY feel that women reach their prime in their 40's. No BS, I mean it. I know what I like and dislike. I don't put up with the same crap that I used to. I don't try to "please" people anymore; if I like you, I like you, if I don't, well....I don't... I feel very secure and confident in myself. This last year has especially woken me up. No more doormat, no more worrying what others think. I REALLY don't care. I LOVE myself. I love how I look, I'm not perfect - but I have been pregnant 6 times (2 miscarriages, a stillborn and 3 beautifull children) and I'm proud of myself. Ya know what, "love me or leave me!!" THIS is who I am.
