our challenge is to take the best of it and stay aware of the worst of it and when it rears its ugly head to get in the way of our happiness and joy of living.

Good thinking and I need to remind myself of this more often!

that would actually be my preference and I would even go so far as to call it sexy. But then you already know I'm not built like "most people," and I don't really care very much about most people.

Experience has taught me that many men say that (and I am not lumping you in that basket by any means - just an observation over time) - but when they actually have to live with a woman like that... the tune changes very quickly. They seem to go from being attracted to it, to being emasculated by it pretty fast.

You just do you... and that's perfect, as it is.

Thank you :) Doing my best - always :D
