I agree. I've made a copy to put up in my kitchen, where I can see
it every day.

Thank you Chris

plain is good.. that´s how I like my hamburgers.. plain

but there isn´t anything plain about being plain.. I´ve always been kind of a plain person.. but I´d like to call it honest, sincere, true, or just ME..

yeah there are people all "plumped" up and we sometimes wish we´d look like that... but we should also feel good with what we are and what makes US happy.. I do try sometimes to "plump"up to make the hubs happy.. but I´m happy with just how I am jeans, t shirt, etc... barely use makeup, creams, perfume...all natural.. although time is catching by so I must start doing something or age will catch up and surpass me.. haha.. not that I care much but then the hubs would look younger than me.. lol.. and that ain´t gonna happen..lol

I´ve always been told to look younger.. but the range of the younger years I apparent is getting shorter.. or is it I am getting older.. haha.. who cares.. it all sums up as how you feel inside and are happy with it..

there are somethings I´d like to modify/enhance for sure.. hehe.. but that´s another topic

I love white hair.. in fact I want to dye my hair white.. just haven´t been able to.. tried some toner on my hair but it didn´t do much to it.. I´d need to bleach it but my hair is so fragile it would fall apart.. so I guess I´ll have to hair till I get it by natural means.. lol.. meanwhile I might get it red again..lol

You are very welcome ladies.

Liz, that's where I keep my copy, on a kitchen cabinet to be exact.

I have poked my nose into this thread many times but have not had the time to post.

Chris - I've seen your picture and you are indeed beautiful. I have printed off that motto and will hang it here at work as well as at home. I think it's wonderful. I take it those are your original words?

I'm will be 58 this year and I think I look 45. Time has been good to me and now that I've lost some weight I think I look terrific. I'm plain jane - no makeup, no colour in my hair or on my nails, no tattoos, no piercings, no pantyhose, no high heels, no perfume - I believe in being as natural as possible and if people don't like it, tough!!!

I'm single and love it. I can choose to do what I please (outside of work time that is) and I can choose who to spend my spare time with. I too, love getting older and I so look forward to turning 65.

Do I look old? I don't think so but I'm sure my sagging breasts will argue....

Thank you, Slick! You're a sweetie.

Don't blame me. Merlin is turning me into a mushy puddle of sap. All he ever talks about is his undying love for Sparkler whom, by the way, we all think is beautiful too!

Chris, that is absolutely awesome. Good for you!! That's exactly how I feel. I get tired of people judging my schedule and everything else I do. Just because I'm retired after working for many years, that doesn't mean I have to live like the person thats up at 5 in the morning like I used to be.
We have earned the right to enjoy ourselves to the max!!!

Oh, I know how that is.. Sparkler spends so much time just lying around, daydreaming about her Prince Charming. She is so much looking forward to being with him again soon!

Chris ... I take it those are your original words?

No, no, no! Sorry if I gave that impression everyone. I found the basis on the net a while ago, can't remember where, then edited it a little to match my personal thoughts .

Doesn't matter to me who wrote it. You found it & shared it with us.
I happen to agree with the thoughts & appreciate you sharing them.

I am now in my 60's and am happy with what I have now. Sometimes I feel like I'm looking especially good and sometimes like I've been "rode hard and put away wet". But I have earned every single one of my wrinkles and dang proud of them. A badge of courage, experience and perseverance as it were
