I asked a friend who has crossed 70 and is heading towards 80 what sort of changes she is feeling in herself and to share some observations on life? So this is what she said.. 1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself. 2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders. 3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me,
