&lt;h2&gt;
the sun is not our friend&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love summer. I love floating in the pool and playing in my garden.&amp;nbsp; A few years ago I started noticing sun spots on my face. I stopped tanning my face, started using sunsreen and I would use a self-tanner for the sun kissed look.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well this year i have decided to stop tanning all together.&amp;nbsp; This is a big step for me because I love to tan.&amp;nbsp; I am going to keeping don&#39;t all the things i like doing in the summer but cover my entire body with sunscreen.&amp;nbsp; So i am going to stock up on self tanners or maybe get a spray tan every couple weeks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have got to say I&#39;m a little nervous about this.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I feel like I&#39;m giving up the one thing I wait all winter to do. I know it is the right thing and I&#39;m sure i will be glad in the long run.&amp;nbsp; So wish me luck.&amp;nbsp; I will let you know how it goes. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
The Brain vs The Body: &amp;nbsp;The Middle Age Debate&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am in my forties and stuck in the middle of a very hard disagreement.&amp;nbsp; My brain thinks I&#39;m still in my twenties and my body is in total disagreement.&amp;nbsp; My body is thinking I&#39;m easily sliding into eighty.&amp;nbsp; Me? I&#39;m just stick in the middle waiting to see which one wins. I think they are both crazy.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t want to be eighty yet and I certainly have no desire to be twenty again either.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
Truthfully I like where I am.&amp;nbsp; When, my kids started getting older and leaving home, I didn&#39;t know what I was supposed to do.&amp;nbsp; It was really hard for me.&amp;nbsp; I eventually figured out that I could do anything I wanted now.&amp;nbsp; It was my time.&amp;nbsp; Yeah...the problem I&#39;m having is that I have no idea what I want to do.&amp;nbsp; There is a big world out there and I got nothing.&amp;nbsp; Maybe my brain is winning.&amp;nbsp; I could always take up knitting.&lt;/div&gt;
