Things I LIKE about aging

I don't have to wash my hair everyday. In fact it's better if I don't.

I know which fork to use.

I really don't care if "that guy" thinks I'm cute.

I don't care if anyone thinks I'm cute.

I don't care as much about fashion. If it fits it's "in".

Oh yeah, the wisdom thing.......

I'm still thinking. Not coming up with much.

I now dress for comfort more than style.

I'm more comfortable "in my own skin.

If I want to nap during the day, I do.

If I want to eat ice cream for dinner on a rare occasion, I do it.

I think I'm much more laid back in some ways. Yet in other ways, I find I'm less patient with people who are rude or do things wrong when they know better.

The only thing I can come up with that I like about aging is that I can nap with impunity and that I don't care one little bit about what anyone thinks of me. I am happy to be who I am. It's taken years, a divorce, and some really crappy relationships to get here, but the journey was worth it.

I like the person I've become because of what I have been through in my life. All of the struggles I've gone through, the hardships, the pain, my divorce, has made me, I think, a better person.

With age comes wisdom, and for the most part, I believe this to be very true. Quite honestly, I would not want to be in my 20's or 30's again. I like being the age I am today. We only feel as old as we act right?

Hugs!

I definitely don't care that much what others think of me anymore.

And I don't care about those rolls of fat hanging out here and there, lol, whereas in my twenties it would be a reason to agonize.
I like the knowledge and wisdom I acquired over the years, too.

I like liking my own company. When I was younger if I didn't have plans I was beside myself. Now, I'm perfectly content being by myself (most of the time...)

I like expressing my own opinions and not being concerned as to whether others agree with me or not.

I like that I've learned to keep a secret.

a.Men can hold a conversation with me now and it doesn't lead to sexual inuendos.
b.I no longer feel the need to suck in my stomach
c.Moisturizor on my face actually feels like it is doing something
d.I find neat things all over my house because I've fogotten I've put them there
e.The children are moving out and I get some time to myself
f. I now know how to clean a house properly and effeciently
g.I give young people a 'look' and it sends them scampering
h.I've slowed down enough to pet the pets and plant some flowers
i. I meet more people in the community while I wait for doctor appointments or pharmacy lines

Angela, you don't have to be old to do the last thing! I am always meeting new people at the doctor's office or pharmacy! And I'm only 33!
