  2. Hah! After reading the 60 things about NYC, it made more sense to me why there are so many crime drama shows in NYC. I’ve only been to NYC in passing, but haven’t really visited. Interesting!

  3. I’m particularly moved by the article on aging. I’m definitely enjoying my age and do not fee the least. I don’t feel invisible to others, less heard, less acknowledged or less influential than years ago. I think it’s because I’m confident, engaged in life and have kept my interest in others.

    • Same here. I liked that article on aging! Eventually we all get older. I came to a point when I was anxious of my changing body and skin– my pregnancy, continuous addition of numbers to my age. But when I finally realized and accepted what’s happening, that’s when life became less stressful! Now, I’m happier, I feel young because I stay active!
