Wrinkle free and three
sizes smaller! What a hoot that would
be. However, we would be cheating
ourselves. Pounds and wrinkles come over
time and with experience. Pounds can be
dealt with easier than wrinkles; we can actually eat right and exercise most of
those pounds right off. (I know, I know –
easier said than done.) Wrinkles and
scars are different. Wrinkles and scars are
testaments to the things that life has brought to us, things we have lived
through and survived.
We live the yo-yo of
weight control and buy our wrinkle creams or possibly invest in the miracle
drugs of dermatologists, but no matter how hard we try, each day brings more
age and experience to our bodies.
Learn
to appreciate your body for what it is – YOURS.
Respect those laugh lines and eye-crinkles and stretch marks – you earned
each and every one of those.
Don’t hide
them, rejoice in them.
We all come in
different shapes and sizes and skin types.
Remember that you are the only you you’ve got.
Don’t be afraid to look in the mirror for
everyone’s mirrored reflection is different.
Be happy, be healthy, and cherish the body you have.
It is special because it belongs solely to you.
Yes this is my body! Old Age is a gift from God. I cheerish getting older, so many of my friends are no longer alive. We lost a young Marine this week, and that makes me appreciatte everyday that much more and all we have to be thankful for! Bring on the wrinkles, the reseeding hair line! LOL... Let me get old and spoil my grandchildren, even if they wear me out!!!
