Embrace it!

Some women believe that as they age, they LOSE their looks. Oh my friends how wrong this is. A beautiful young women is a happy accident of nature but a beautiful older woman? She is a work of art. The Japanese have a practice whereby they fill any broken objects with gold, believing that something which is broken has earned its beauty and should be celebrated and decorated rather than discarded. I feel this way about women. It took a long time to find out who you really truly are. A long time. The acceptance that old age brings is freeing. It brings with it peace and happiness. Everyone knows, happiness looks good on us all. Your body has been changing since the day you were born and will continue till the day you depart. Ride with it, accept it, embrace it. Be amazed by it. Allow your face to represent your life, your stories, your joys. The trick with ageing successfully my friend, is to pay as little attention to it as possible.
