I really don’t think of myself as brave. I’m just old and refuse to take anybody’s crap anymore. When I was young, I would have gone to the ladies room and cried. And then thought about it for a week and not eaten out for months. Aging is so freeing. My friends who are my age or older, all agree. My best friend, who is 74, bought me a shirt for my birthday that says: A Life Sentence Just Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore. Watch What You Say.
