In fact, you're gorgeous in every way. Heart, soul, spirit, mind and physical being. You, also, still take the best pictures of all kinds of things in the Universe.

Beauty is made up of many things and you have a surfeit in all.

Aging can add to a patina and a depth of beauty for some, like you.

I must say I didn't expect this many compliments with such depth and feeling.

It helps me see what the rest of you see.

Thank you, my dear erronis. ?

However, I know the witness-within with the name "I", looking out from the eyes, is now, was then, and always shall be constant and timeless.

My hair length does vary, but these days I prefer it longer. I like the look and I can wear it up when I feel like that.

I am very grateful for your 'witness-within' remarks. You have gotten to the heart of who I am.

Thank you so much . . .?

I suspect that perhaps most people are beautiful in some way. It just needs to be observed.

I have been fortunate to always having had a young face. That has helped quite a lot.

I hope the years will treat you kindly too. Your thoughtful posts sure give the impression that time will be kind to you as well.

Smiling helps get you there . . .
