Beautifully said, Linda. As usual, your writing reaches deep within. My comments, however, are superficial. Such as my idea for you to get a t-shirt that says, "I Peed in the Sea."

You do look so relaxed, I'm glad you got your 'elixir' for another year. My favorite lesson is 'go pee in the sea.' I'd have been tempted to do it,if I had a change of clothes. Second fav is the seagull analogy.

I love the way that first photo was taken, of you looking into the mirror.
