64. I never understood it
Their remarks seemed to relay that they thought I was "wasting" my talents and that was both a disservice to me and the world somehow.

It took many years -- but then one of them once again began complaining about her life and I remarked I felt so lucky to feel happy most of the time. She retorted "oh well, you have the environment group." I knew then that she saw how "rich" my life was compared to hers in challenges, satisfaction and a nucleus of like-minded and treasured friends.
