    I don't feel old at all and I never say "I'm too old for this".

    The article had some real gems. Must not be for you to know.

    JSurita3 - What did you think of the part about encountering things that, in the past, would have had her unhinged, that she now shrugs off?

    That's very powerful, to not be easily bothered.

    Or, about accepting her youth and beauty, instead of upsetting over her weight, age, and wrinkles? That from experience, she knows she will look back at this time in her life as being full of joy, beauty and vigor, so she doesn't wait to look back to see it, but rather enjoys that knowledge now?

    Sure, it is powerful to not be easily bothered but I guess it's her Mantra that I don't really like. You're never to old for anything (unless you're sick or physically incapable). I much rather say, I'm too wise for this or I'm too smart to let something bother me, etc... Old...? Nope. I'm forever young ;)

    I don't like her mantra either, for the reasons you mentioned, but I like the sentiment behind it. I also look at photographs and saw, oh look, me at size 4, and remember how much I picked at my flaws back then (I had a 4 pack, not a six pack - soooo fat, lol). Now I look at those photos and say, why didn't I appreciate how fantastic I looked? So now, I look at current photos and don't pick out the flaws. I'm thinking her weight loss comments might also be worth me thinking about in greater depth.
