1. Has unbelievable, incredible skin! I'm really thinking it might be due to the fact that she has always worn hats with brims!
2. Rarely is seen wearing sunglasses. Has the brim protected her from getting cataracts, also?
3. Smiles so infrequently that when she actually does, it looks fake! How sad is that?
4. Wears THE most beautifully coordinated, brightly colored outfits with matching hat and (always)pearls (necklace, earrings, broach or all 3), but then why does she always carry THE ugliest black purse and wear ugly black heels?! Those ladies-in-waiting have failed their queen!
5. Has kept in great shape for all of her 86 years. How? Do you think she hops on the treadmill or elliptical? Does she even own tennis shoes? If so, are they also black?
6. Shows so little emotion that I want to reach through the TV screen, shake her and say, "COME ON, LADY!! Doesn't four days of celebrating YOU mean that your subjects deserve some kind of spontaneity, warmth or enthusiasm from you? Even for one brief, shining moment??
7. Is probably so upset with her husband that he messed up both Christmas and now her Diamond Jubilee celebration that she'll make him walk behind her from now on!
8. Was a sweetheart in calling my mother everyday when they were both pregnant: the Queen with Charles and my mum with me. (I am one day older than Charlie).
9. Must be doing something right: married for 64 years, on the throne for 60, has kids, grandkids and an entire country who respect and adore her.......HIP! HIP! HOORAY!!
You've cried at weddings, right? At the birth of a baby? And, of course, you've probably cried at funerals, but have you ever stopped to wonder why both happy and sad events, make you so emotional? Even worse, do you often feel like you're the only one? I will impart wisdom gleaned from professional conferences, seminars, books and articles and/or I will blog my personal thoughts. Either way, I hope you check in often, so you know that your tears are never shed in a vacuum!

- I am an educator and consultant, in the field of loss and grief. I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
