What a fantastic read. Nearing a truthful and much deserved 73, I'm living the do-over life. Not in the physical realm, for I have long ago, traded in my Henri Bendel/ Bergorf Goodman wardrobe, for an L.L.Bean kinda lifestyle. Toss in an array of thrift shop eccentricities, and you have a the causal classic. Life is too short , they say, I say it all happens in a day. Grab your favorite tee shirt, either literally or metaphorically and color your world to suit your soul. So, yes, my grey is coming in...finally, but hey, I figure I look the way I look and that's fine with me...well except when I'm watching reruns of Sex in the City. I love the saying "you do you" . Thanks for the great article.

I loved this whole thing. And now off to buy your book. But oh... have to warn you. 50 was indeed the new 40, 60 the new 50 but 70 is 70. I hope you prove me wrong!!! Thanks for this lovely essay On Vanity!
