Your post the other evening about our youth-worshiping culture got me thinking, and I realized something: I like to look at people who are more mature (not mature as in old, which is what mature seems to have come to mean, but more in the sense of someone who has had time to develop, to ripen). Young people are pretty, sure, but I've been looking around since your post and have realized that they just don't look interesting - they don't look quite done. Our little bags and sags and freckles and spots, they are the badges of our experience. They tell the world that we have gone forward and LIVED!
The photo is wonderful, and you look wonderful in it. You are certainly attractive, but you also look interesting. You look like a person someone would cross a room to talk to, because you look as though you'd have something to say.
