I seem to have mislaid my waist .......

Yes, that's right. I am in search of my waist. It has gone missing! I lost quite a bit of weight in my fifties. 18 months of counting points. No ice cream. No peanut butter. So much rabbit food that I nearly grew a cottontail and began hopping around on the lawn at night. But when I hit my 60s, my body turned on me, like a villain in a cartoon. And now my waist has disappeared. It used to be in the normal spot, and I was able to encircle it with belts and skirts. Now the belts just laugh at me. A skirt recently suggested I was ready to try elastic. Now, I could lament this loss of my waist. I could go on and on about yesteryear, and how I was once a size eight. Or I could resign myself to the loss of my waist, and somehow ... somehow ... go on without it. I hope it has gone to a good home.
