One of the great, good gifts of aging is self-awareness. We can look at our reactions to Life or Humans and just let it be. We become more real. And whether we decide to do anything about it or not - we no longer sugar-coat our truth. And that - is the path to wisdom.
Thank you for sharing this bit of yourself. If any of my exes had a chateau in France, I might be inclined to be less than enthusiastic for them as well. ;)
