Is a Vibrant Nation General User

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: I've had a great life that has been a wild roller coaster of ups and downs. Definitely worth the crashes for the ups!
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: My life is simplified and calm. I am having difficulty accepting the fact that I am getting "old". Inside I feel like 30, but when I look in the mirror - UGH! Can't seem to get past that but I know I have to to enjoy the rest of my life.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Can't see that yet. What I refuse to see is a little old lady sitting rocking on the front porch knitting ugly useless things for the local senior center gift shop. I want to be creative and be able to express that some way!

Love you tons! Please stay inside me forever and help me overcome the "old" stigma that is falling down on me. Help me to create a new vibrant self irregardless of how I look.
