One benefit of getting older is definitely beginning to feel more comfortable in your own skin, and learning what is truly important--what to spend time concentrating on.Kathy A.

I've decided that the extra pounds, wrinkles and gray hair (although Clairol certainly helps out with that last one) are more than worth what we get back in exchange as we get more comfortable in our own skins and learn to live our lives more in line with our true priorities.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-45506589350460429482010-07-25T09:10:00.276-04:002010-07-25T09:10:00.276-04:00Beautiful and wise words of advice, Kathy.

Peppers that go too long without water can also get HOT! ;) (I guess that's not an issue with your ornamental one -- altho many ornamentals are also good in the wok.) We are praying for rain here, for sure. For the last five days, rain has been in the forecast -- and we've gotten zip. :(<br /><br />I think the big danger, for humans and peppers, is that gradual slide, when things get put off, or not noticed, or aren't bad enough to be made a priority on the day's to-do list. Suddenly, things look terribly droopy, but of course, the changes were happening all along...Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-21924687514523044252010-07-23T13:57:36.800-04:002010-07-23T13:57:36.800-04:00Thank goodness for resilience!
