Getting Older

My friend Marge sent me an attachment with a lot of stars and it showed how they have added a few years.  It was interesting to see the difference in their faces and how beautiful and handsome they still are . . . and best of all they still have talent and are still going strong.    There were to many to put them all on but these were a few favorites.   

Age . . . we all celebrate a new birthday every year and we all see a changing face in the mirror every morning.   Some of us age gracefully, some kicking and screaming about the first gray hair or the first wrinkle and some pay no attention whatsoever and enjoy life one day at a time.

Age . . . it really isn't the change in looks that is important;  after all that goes with the genes you were born with.   It is the attitude you decide on as you age that is what really counts.    A positive attitude brings out the beauty within while the negative attitude brings out a mirror image of discontent.

Age . . . body wise you are what you eat . . . what you do for exercise . . . and only you can adopt the attitude of creating a healthy body and mind.     It is not easy as temptation waits at the refrigerator door or the pantry closet where the 'good' things reside.    You have to remember you cannot bring home all of your favorite sugar treats and expect to hide them as you are the one who knows where all those places are and soon discover even frozen brownies are delicious.

Age . . . how lucky we are . . . we are able to 'age' . . . and we take our seconds seriously and we take good care of ourselves so that we do 'age to perfection' . . . so today, look in the mirror and if you see a beautiful smiling face it will be difficult to see a gray hair or a wrinkle . . . but, if you do, remember you earned every one of them.  Remember to love yourself warts and all so you can love those who surround you.  Hugs to all.
