Now into my 12th year of retirement I no longer cringe. I simply don't give a flip what anyone thinks of me. It's a very liberating mindset. I dress for comfort, not style. I engage in activities that I enjoy, whether anyone is impressed by them or not. I laugh and delight in every goofy act I commit. But Henya, you are beautiful and a great writer and fabulously superlative in every way. Don't cringe.
