While I'm not always thrilled with the extra pounds or crows feet or laugh lines when I look into the mirror, I don't let it stop me for a moment. Ppl who cant get past the way somebody looks doesnt deeply enjoy life. Oh well, her loss. YOU are living your life and have a great attitude! Certain things might change as we grow older, but just because I cant do some things now due to kids at home, doesnt mean I wont try them when I'm 60. I'd rather have the number climb along with the body sagging than the alternative!<br />Congrats on living another year!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660761635166286074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-19947160236942840192011-08-04T15:36:53.713-04:002011-08-04T15:36:53.713-04:00Jody, I'm one of those women, and I must say m...Jody, I'm one of those women, and I must say most of my friends are right there with us.Terri Thayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953154767532970027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-90744246293750327172011-08-04T14:56:12.008-04:002011-08-04T14:56:12.008-04:00I LIKE my crow's feet that show up mostly when...I LIKE my crow's feet that show up mostly when I smile. Do you all remember during the women's lib years when everyone was saying goodbye to makeup & how they were going to "age gracefully" and be proud of their natural bodies.

While I agree life is different as we age, running after youthful looks sure doesn't help.<br /><br />You're the perfect example of someone who has made her own doors.

Obviously your neighbor doesn't get that and apparently thinks that rolling back the wrinkles will roll back her age, too. Plus, I agree with Carol S in that there's always the danger of getting one of those cosmetic surgeries that look weird. Happy Birthday in advance, and I love your attitude.Linda O.

We don't need to look far for examples of how youth is preferred over experience.<br /><br />We have to find new doors, or, build our own.
