Time brings roses. ---Portuguese proverb

...and so does my husband....peach are always my favorite...I'm a bit slow in getting them up on my blog since I received them on Thursday but it's never to late to share roses...

There is another Portuguese proverb: "A vida começa aos 40"

(Life begins at 40)...Unfortunately, at age 42 and 10 weeks into academy, physically,

I feel quite the opposite. I have been ill the past week, not the flu,

but might have well been. I feel like I look the worst I ever have...I feel like crap...

I do not not feel like my life is beginning...I feel like I am taking years off of my life.

“But he that dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose.”
---Anne Bronte
