ya think it's been too long since checking in? thanks for your 'card'...really appreciate it even better late than never. turned 51...& for halloween, i am '29 & holding'...how funny...lots has happened, most of it not so great, but as we always know, if you forgive me for using skincare as a template for how life 'is'...the remodeling process from the top down & from inside out, can take awhile...patience is the key, products that work are essential, & anything that burns, needs to be neutralized eventually. if there are scars, there are different approaches to reducing or eliminating them. again...some trial & error occur as one avenue may look good but not prove useful...others need more time to show results & some just need to be 86'd for good. that's been a metaphor for my life for 7 months or so. as good a one as any.
