Water frond breathing
eternal summer green ease

      Ramesh, if you haven't noticed, this is a blog about midlife and women so this was a natural take for me. I wanted to celebrate us accepting ourselves for who we are. There is beauty in aging and being who we are. Thank you.

    I'm trying to fit this, Tonya. Mrs. Jim has warts but she doesn't value them.
    Are they literal? Our toy poodle has dangerous looking warts that we just found.
    The vet is right after she gets clipped tomorrow.

    Don't mind Jim, he's our resident Monday joker. LOL
    The frog wears her warts proudly as the ring symbolic of belonging.
    Beautifully written, and the photo is stunning.
