Having never been one of the "beautiful people" and having lived long enough to watch some people that were beautiful when young, and fought against the natural order with surgery, fillers, etc., only to ruin themselves. I've come to appreciate my aging face and body, my gray hair and my natural process as well as to appreciate the same natural beauty in others. We can be beautiful as Nature intended. It's all a matter of perspective. This was a wonderful piece Rea!
