Gee, Clara, I could have written that last bit myself! It is tough, isn't it, knowing there was an entire other life each of us might have had getting to the age we are now at. Yet, when you (or rather I, since, I cannot ,of course, speak for you) think about the trade offs involved in that other path we might have taken all those years ago, I don't find I would be willing to make that trade, even now, if I could go back.
But, even so, there are no regrets, just a certain wistfulness. I learned a long time ago that often simply being able to fully imagine and visualize an experience can be pretty close to being as good as the experience itself.And, as you say, there is great satisfaction now in what participation we can enjoy.
Hopefully, that is some of the wisdom we gain with age.
Now if only all that "wisdom" would enable me to match my teenage daughters expertise at typing on the friggin tiny keys of this cell phone.!!!!!
I WANT MY PM BACK!!!
There, all better now.

Samantha I believe it is our age that to a certain degree gives us some freedon to explore our other side . At younger age you are competing to climb the ladder / marriage / kids and of course higher level of terstorone in system that to a degree suppresses the feminine side . With age comes the slow down of testorone which opens other doors .
At my age people look at me and accept me for what I am as I am not a competitor just another old fart
