Aging Gracefully

Young, beautiful and sexy – is that what’s at stake here?  Is it happiness in the home, being productive, or simply feeling an overall zest for life that we so desire?  Perhaps it’s all of these things.  I wager having a healthy and fit body without aches and pains is also high up there on everyone’s list of wishes.

Knowing that we only live on this earth one day at a time means that we really only have this very moment to look at ourselves in the mirror and accept gracefully who we are.  Eating healthy food and taking care of our bodies is something we have control over ... that’s not a given but it is in our own hands.

For me, my face has a few more wrinkles in it than it did a couple of years ago and because I have chosen not to have a nip & a tuck or be Botoxed, the road map of my face will only get more interesting as I age.  The body ... yoga and running are my passions so that’s easy!  The hair – well, for now I prefer to have Bruno perfect it every six weeks.  My sister thought I looked lioness-y > not a fox, but a grand and majestic lion.  Hmmm... I like it!
