Hi docrobbysherry,
I read your post and thought as a person who's gone through this my whole life and at different degrees along the way I will try my best to shed at least my thoughts .
I would frankly tell you probably never ..it never goes away IE that the overwhelming feeling of satisfaction. It never has gone away for me. If the initial thoughts that you glorify as I do about the empowerment of transformation the end process will indubitably bring the same results each time I call it the gift that keeps on giving and yes I do believe it is deeply embedded in our minds. You mention that it frightens you and sure the unknown has a tendency of doing that to all of us, but take a look at what we have ....you take the average senior... they look in the mirror and then they look away in defeat for the oncoming of age and just end up accepting the years .... but we're e a different lot indeed... we have the will and the expertise to just wave our magic wands an poof , a beautiful princess appears .... lets face it would you ever give up the power of transcending the years ( not I )...sure we changed the rules but then again this is our game and this is our field of dreams hope this helped to shed some light hugs ....lacie![]()
