"I claim all this is for my family, but my kids haven’t acknowledged my wisdom in years and I’m not sure my husband’s ever listened." Aaargggh, you got me here. Same, same, same.

To speak out and find peace at the same time is a blessing.

I look forward to every "Kate", every time, with great admiration. A make-up artist friend once admonished me for owning a magnifying mirror. This was back when my eyesight was better. She said that I needed to stop looking at my pores because no one was going to get that close unless I was being kissed. I can still see my pores.
