Aging Gracefully
If such a thing is possible, I’m sure it is, but it’s not always easy. Nothing good is easy.
In the end, what matters most to me is love for God and love for each other. Aging gracefully is nice and all. Health should come right after God and love. This article has been on my mind since I saw it a few hours ago. Kelly McGillis (Top Gun) surprised the most, but I really liked what she said. I have more to say on this, but I have a busy day ahead of me. I’d love to hear everyone else’s thoughts, as well as what you may be doing to help with the aging process. Sleep, good diet, sleep, sunblock, and wearing a hat. Thinking good and happy thoughts!

It is!
I'm going to be "double nickels" this summer. For some reason, this is profound to me. My kids are getting older...so of course I am too. I do feel comfortable in my skin and I'm glad that I can do what I can do. I had a fall on a local ski hill before Christmas that really made me think about what kinds of activities I want to participate in. Not sure the risk vs benefit or pain vs pleasure is worth it with skiing! I really learned some patience, too. I am still recovering. Funny, but I am no longer about getting my summer "bikini body". I want my body ready and functional for the rest of my life.

I hate it when celebrities who have obviously had work done are asked about their youthful appearance and they attribute their appearance to a good moisturizer, a good night’s sleep or drinking plenty of water. Those things are good for you, but they don’t make a 60-year old look 20. And I’m not saying that they owe anyone an explanation of what they’ve had done, but instead if the lies, I wish they would just say, “None if your business” or “I don’t talk about my looks” or whatever.
