Wrinkle Free


 

 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.
