Another one of those never-ending jade plant questions

I have an old jade plant (age unknown) but from the size, I assume it's fairly old.The plant has always been in a southern window. I water it once every few weeks. When I water it, I soak the soil but do not let it stand in runoff water. It stays inside all year. I have no insect problems with it.Since last summer, the plant has started to droop. The plant itself is in very good shape with no soft tissue and only an occasional leaf drop, usually in the fall (I live in NY state).Here is a URL showing the plant:The plant is 4 feet across and 20" high from the top rim of the pot. Before last summer, it never hung below the top rim of the pot and now it hangs 14" below in some places. All the "trunks" used to stand up straight and as you can see from the large horizontal trunk, they are loosing that vertical stance. Maybe it's top heavy?I'd like suggestions as to what, if anything is wrong, and what I should do or if it should just be left this way.Thanks for the help.Charles
