| Have you ever seen an old man with tears in his eyes? Someone just bought my first picture put up for print... the giraffe of the beauty challenge! Whoever you are, thank you a million times, what a wonderful gift on a rainy day! |

Congratulations!
As for being 'old' It's obvious you haven't seen these:
"If you're searching for evidence that 50 is the new 40, as the saying goes, you need look no further than to Cyndi Lauper."
New York Times
"It's said that age 60 is the new 40."
Vermont's Burlington Free Press
"50 is the new 40--or even the new 35."
Newsday
"Fifty used to be the new 40, but now, according to the cover of a recent AARP magazine, it turns out that 60 is the new 30."
Salt Lake City's Deseret Morning News
" 'You once said, 'Don't trust anyone over 30,' but now chirp, '50 is the new 30!'"
Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Now 40 might be the new 30, but there's no way that 34 is the new 19."
San Francisco Chronicle
"They say 50 is the new 40. Or is it 30? Either way, again, I hope they're right."
USA Today

A woman is as old as she looks.
A man is as old as... the girl he feels ;-)
Thanks to all. Roadrunner.. share with me a tear. A mere wek ago I did not have any hope of seeing the week out... now at least I can get up and walk again. In a month I may want to jog.. who knows with this kind of rush going through me. |

Big congrats! :)
Hold that feeling, embrace that emotion,
let your heart pound and the tears roll
for this true pleasure is your magic potion,
it is well deserved and truly your own.
Really pleased for you Peter :)
