Oh Mary, this hits home! Our young adults say the darnedest things! I tend to pick out clothes that feel good and please me. Long gone are the days I choose clothes based on “what’s in”! Hugs

Yes they do! I wore a pair of my "Square Pants" yesterday and felt a giggle in my tummy all day as the theme from "Sponge Bob" played in my head. I do love pretty clothes, but my idea of "pretty" is a T-shirt that says, "Be Kind." I have much going on in life and will touch base soon. You are a beautiful source of light and love in my life.

My friend just asked what I was laughing at (“So, apparently, I’ve been walking around looking like Sponge Bob Square Pants for years, and thinking they fit so well.”)

Our bodies and eyes tell us what we should wear! Sometimes they fib🙂😀

Yes, and I would've gone on wearing my Driftwood Square Pants had it not meant so much to my daughter that I didn't look "old" in the new pants. What we do for love. Thank you, Ro!

Kudos to you for wearing any sort of jeans! I switched to buttonless quick-dry pants during pregnancy and never was brave enough to change back.

Susan, I love this story so much! Your husband just may be Prince Charming. I mean, the guy goes on eBay, finds "your" jeans, buys them...yep, he's a keeper. That makes you (of course) a keeper too! How are we going to keep our jeans into our 90's and 100's???? Am I going to have to scour the Earth to hoard jeans? Oh, I'll do it, because I'll tell you right now, I am NOT going quietly into the night, into the world of "elastic waisted jeans!" Never!!!!!
