Love is being stupid together.

In the classic Hollywood film, GIGI, the immortal Maurice Chevalier sings a very wise song called: "I'm glad I'm not young anymore."

There are lyrics like: "Will her friends like you; Will yours like her? Ah, I'm glad I'm not young anymore!"

Me, I enjoyed being young.

In fact, it took me a long time to outgrow my toys. Though preternaturally mature, I submerged myself in imaginative play to a late age and propitiated my dolls like touchy little gods.

How would I one day hide my play from a husband & children?!

The day came, of course, when I "outgrew" childish preoccupations, or rather forgot them for adolescent ones.

Midnight roses

Love's neuroses

Ah! I'm glad I'm not young anymore!

A wonderful freedom accompanies maturity, I think.

You've peeked behind the curtain.

And if I want a cookie, I'll HAVE one!

So don't bemoan your age - what ever age it is!

Celebrate your simple fact of your existence,

Perhaps by savoring

a cookie ;-)
