I am not a big fan of Mother Nature. I know I should be. We should all love nature. And how can a woman not love a sister mother? But there you have it. I don't love Mother Nature.
Why?
The answer is simple: Mother Nature has not been kind to me. She has stripped me of my natural moisture and oils; she has taken my looks; she has stomped on my innate good cheer.
If Mother Nature were truly a friend, she would have whispered to me in my youth to take better care of myself. She would have reminded me to enjoy my youth while I had it. She would have been a friend!
I've heard it said that youth is wasted on the young. For those of us with children, that can be quite literal. Don't forget what you were doing in your youth.
