Maybe we don't have the body we had at 21, but growing older DOES have it's perks!
- With age comes wisdom and perspective
- We learn to accept things the way they are.
- We learn to say no and not feel guilty
- We understand what's really important in our lives
- We become more creative and accentuate our skills and talents
- We are more accepting of our flaws and imperfections and wear them as a badge
- We have more time for ourselves, now that the kids are grown
- We have more time to travel
- We're more open to change
- We don't sweat the small stuff as much
- Sex becomes more spiritual and less about performance
- We're more free to express ourselves
I'm sure you've heard the saying "50 is the new 40" well that's in part due to advances in anti aging skin care products / anti aging skin care treatments, anti wrinkle creams, botox injections, cosmetic surgery, breakthroughs in health and medicine and on and on.
BOTTOM LINE: It all boils down to accepting yourself for who you are, the way you are, flaws and all, and loving yourself unconditionally as you age with grace.
I've included a video below of one of my very favorite songs, that kind of sums it all up. ..
I hope you enjoy it! Amy
