I have decided I'm ready to age gracefully.
I will still dye my hair.
I will still use moisturizer and wrinkle cream.
I will not wear polyester.
I will not wear my hair old woman style.
But I don't believe now (or ever) that youth is better.
I like where I am in life.
I like the freedom of my children being grown.
I like the confidence I have in myself.
I like where I am in my career.
I have enjoyed every stage of life. There were times I didn't exactly like life, but it's been good.
I would not go back to 18, been there.
I would not go back to 21, done that.
I would not go back to 30, I was so busy with work and kids and family that I don't remember that.
I got to be young.
I got married.
I had my babies.
I've had great times (and some struggles).
I'm happy with where I am, and where I'm heading.
Who decided youth was better?
Who decided aging was a bad thing?
I'm pretty dang happy with my life.
I'm going to enjoy every minute of where I am, and no apologies for getting older.
This whole "anti-aging" industry? I'll use what I want of it, but I even like my laugh lines.
Yep, I'll use their wrinkle cream, but I'll enjoy my wrinkles while I rub it in!
