THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES!! I JUST TURNED 53 YESTERDAY AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER TO BE GETTING OLDER!!
These 53 years of life brought me to a place where I learned how to truly appreciate who I am, my life and the numbers 5 and 3 don’t make a bit of a difference! Age is literally JUST A NUMBER.
I feel so comfortable in my own skin as I never felt before. I accept the signs of aging in a way that doesn’t bring me down into a spiral of “I need to look young”. I prefer to go after the “I want to continue FEELING young”. That is a much more realistic route and one that can take me places where I can truly love myself and embrace the process of aging with no sense of loss for what I once was, or looked like...
I miss fondly my tight skin and my unwrinkled face, the same way I miss fondly when I played with dolls and had sleepovers at my best friend’s house when I was 8. That doesn’t make me want to be 8 again… I miss fondly my teenage years, when I started to feel like my own person and independent. But that doesn’t make me want a teenager again… I miss my 30s when I became a mother. But that doesn’t make me want to be 30 again… and that’s how I see every age I go through. I appreciate who I once was, create fond memories where I have them and embrace the new age and what comes with it in a positive and accepting light.
Maybe that is what getting old means: keeping the good memories of who you once was and what you once had and enjoyed and work towards creating new good memories today for all the years to come.
It’s beautiful to be 53! It’s amazing to be alive, to be healthy, to love who I am, to embrace my weaknesses, but never giving up on working towards improving them. To have the awareness that I am the only one who has the ability to create my own happiness, and to be a conduit to the happiness of the ones around me, by inspiring them just by being who I am.
LADIES 50 AND OVER: you were fabulous when you were younger, and you are even MORE FABULOUS now, because you have all those experiences that gave you the wisdom to create even more beautiful memories! ❤️💃
AND IT’S ALWAYS A MATTER OR CHOICE! I CHOOSE TO FEEL FABULOUS AT 53!
Let’s all celebrate getting older with a positive and accepting attitude!
Who is with me on this mindset?!!
