It Takes BALLS To Face The Issues Of Midlife & Beyond!

Introducing my FIRST guest blogger: SunwolfAlready 50 plus, how about 60 and growing…. And grooving it.. Hey, we have no choice when it comes to Biological Age. We have choice as to how we feel.. I feel like a kid, on some level where I have not grown up… grin grin .
