Today I was just driving in my car and it hit me. I am in the Fall of my life.
Somewhere in my memory bank I know I once heard that we are like seasons.
Spring - we are young children
Summer - we are young adults
Fall - we are mature adults
Winter - we are senior adults
I am now over 50 (not saying how much over) so I am in the Fall of my life. There are 4 living generations in my family and we have them all covered. My sweet grandangels are in Spring - My children (their parents) are Summer. I am Fall and my parents are Winter.
I love Fall - but when it pertains to my life - I am not sure how I feel. It doesn't really matter, I am there. But I don't feel like Fall. I still feel like Summer. There are times here and there I even feel like Spring.
So when do I transition to Winter? When my parents are gone and I take their place? Hopefully that is years away. I don't know - but I better enjoy Fall as long as I can.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14 (KJV)
4 Generations: My mom, me, my daughter & youngest grandangel.
Ladies - growing older does not mean ---
That you have to have chin hair! There is a great invention called TWEEZERS - it isn't even new - it has been around a good while now. They also make magnifying make up mirrors!
I can not believe how many women I see with a wild hair growing above their lip or sticking out of their chin! Not a day goes by that I don't give my face a good once over before putting on my make-up.
That you can get by without a pedicure! Seriously, if you are going to wear shoes that show your A. toenails and B. heels - - - then get a pedicure! If you absolutely can not afford at least one per month - then invest in a little pedi kit at the dollar store and do it yourself. Really - it doesn't take but a couple of minutes sitting on the side of your tub and scrubbing the hooves! It is a must!! Even my husband will point out nasty hooves in the summer time! It is just gross! and PLEASE wear shoes that fit - it is so unattractive to see a woman's scruffy heels hanging over the end of her shoes or her toes going over the end! For heaven's sake - don't wear panty hose with sandals - especially support hose!!!!
That you still look good in a mini skirt. I see grown women who are WAY past 50 wearing skirts and dresses that are close enough to be called a shirt. You just look like you are trying too hard. I don't care if you have nice legs or not (but most I see - not so much!) show a little maturity and drop it down a few inches.
Now - there is my rant for the day - agree or disagree - but I think most of my friends will agree I am spot on with this.
Have a nice day! :-)
