Excuses ARE boring! Older DOES equal better. I'm proud of you for the commitment that you have made to yourself, and how you continue to inspire people. Thanks for sharing your stories with us Mel, I know that they have helped me through numerous weak spots. I hope you are having a great time in Mexico, can't wait to hear about those tortilla chips…. xoxo!
