Learning to Redirect our Focus

From when we were young we have been taught that youth is beauty, wrinkles are the enemy, we should hide our age...how sad.   We cannot possibly recapture the beauty of youth so it's up to us to reinvent the beauty of the aging process. We need to be the ones embracing our faces and changing bodies.  Stand proud and see the beauty in all women.  Forget "anti-aging".  We ARE aging so let's revel in it.  Look at these pictures.  Remember this line: Why not learn to love grey, silver and delicately etched lines, even saggy pouches?  Why not embrace the transitions, the contradictions and storylines layered into a lived-in face?

Today I send you wishes for a life lived with passion, butterfly kisses, unexpected surprises and the scent of honeysuckle wafting through your dreams!

NO MATTER HOW YOUNG, OLD, GREY, LITTLE, BIG,TALL OR SHORT. EMBRACE EVERYDAY TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY. THE IMAGE YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR IS JUST THAT. AN IMAGE. MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL AND I HOPE THAT'S YOUR VERY HAPPIEST....S....P.S. STRESS IS THE DEVIL IF YOU USE IT THE WRONG WAY. SOME STRESS CAN REMIND OF OF THE BETTER THINGS IN LIFE. SO SMILE AND ENJOY THE VEIW OF YOU...
