Re: Nine years ago today - and counting ...
Congrats Steph, here's to at least 9 more years. I understand what you mean about short increments. It seems I live 6 months by 6 months...when I get clean scans, I feel like I have been given a reprive. I still find it hard to buy clothes off season, but I make myself. I jokingly say that if nothing else, my sister would inherit a huge wardrobe. The fear is always in the back of our minds and sometimes in the forefront. All we can do is keep living...which is a good thing...
