Getting Old or Staying Young?
Well this is what my Blog is all about ....Age!
How do we all see ourselves? Are we seeing what everyone else sees in the mirror? Questions questions !
Think ill take some great advice from the amazing http://www.helenmirren.com/
I've always been the person to say " age is just a number your as young as you feel!"
Which is great, and a positive view on aging, but now I'm approaching the big 50, maybe my thoughts are different. It's strange beacause I remember feeling elated reaching Flirty 30, I was marrying my wonderful Hubby, and had many happy years ahead, then quite quickly the Naughty 40's,Life begins at 40, apparently ! crept upon me , and still not an inkling of worry, doubt, or fear of age creeping in on me!
Well now the 'Fearful 50' is fast making its way to my door! 17 months and 5 days and 12 hours to be precise🙈
Where do I start? Well there's the looking in the mirror bit ! Yes I've been told "you look good for your age" (Thanks 🤔 I think)
You don't look your age....well whaT should a 47 and half year old look like?
But more importantly do I feel it? YES ,most days really, I actually feel about 90 when I'm running up the stairs, or taking one step at a time first thing in the morning, Now I don't class myself as the fittest person, or the un fittest person, somewhere in the middle really! So I ask you all, honestly am I alone or is this normal? Because I'm telling you if this is normal! Really? Who decided that this is standard for our bodies to disown us when we reach a certain age?
I was at Haircuts4homeless yesterday and we were actually discussing our knee ops! Yes we were , and how it doesn't get better, and what supplements to take! Really! at 30 or even 40 I never dreamed I'd be that person to discuss body ailments , I'm assuming this is standard conversation over a certain age! 😬
So I've decided to "Stay Young'....
And really look at how I can do this, yes I could be extreme, you know Botox, facelift, boob lift, spend hours at the gym, and basically come out not looking like me at all! 🤣Great that'll be fab! ....No thankyou, one thing I am sticking to and all ways say ' grow old gracefully ,by gracefully I mean a little, tiny bit of grooming...dye hair, a tad of makeup, my trusted cleanse ,tone & moisturise ..http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise (I'll give you the heads up on Liz earle in another post, let's just say she's a genius😘💖) And of course body butter lots of it, lets moisturise those wrinkles right outta town ! And as Marilyn Monroe said "you are never fully dressed without purfume" ....
So you see you can be a natural and grow old gracefully ...just with a tiny bit of help!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on 'growing Old'er' ....
I'm trying to put a positive on it, maybe then it won't feel as bad !
