I can't even remember the ad campaign that this slogan was coined for. I obviously never used the product..or if I did it didn't work!
I'm not getting better, and I'm certainly not feeling better. At 52 I've come to realize that I AM that "older" woman now. I know...everyone says you're as young as you feel...well cliques aside, I don't believe that press jargon. I do believe that there are a lot of up sides to being a "certain age", and I'm not going to pretend I don't enjoy them. My sons are grown men now...oh yes, I still worry, but we did a good job somehow and in spite of ourselves they turned out great. Wiser? Certainly! I believe I've learned a lot over my lifetime. When I was younger I thought I had all the answers, at least now I know I didn't.
You do become more comfortable in your own skin. I don't know if that's entirely a good thing...but I haven't lost the desire to want to look good...I'm just short on the willpower part. And no, I don't believe my life is over...far from it. I have the opportunity now to do a ton of things that I've wanted to do with family, friends, and even by myself. I have the love of my family and friends and that feels pretty good thank you.
I was telling a story the other day about how I "jumped" out of bed...I haven't jumped out of bed in about ten years!..Well, maybe it's less than that, I do have a memory of waking up thinking I was a half hour late for work..that'll make you move:)
I wouldn't say I'm getting "better", maybe "living better" would be the appropriate term. And as far as not getting older...I am definitely getting older...
and I wouldn't have it any other way...
Till next time...I'll say Wen...
