Great comment, and thanks for the compliments. I can live with both pictures - the young and the old one, because it's always 100% me :-)

I guess you're right, we're able to maintain certain traits we believe in or we are convinced about - no matter what happens around us. e.g. I have always had a good portion of empathy, and I think that will always be part of my true self, no matter how old I am.

Enjoy your weekend!
