Or, to be more specific, another year older. 🙂
My birthday was last week.
The subject of aging, and aging well, has been a hot topic lately. Or maybe I am just in tune with being a woman of a certain age.
No matter how one approaches aging, a birthday will inevitably bring up thoughts and feelings.
As I approached becoming another year older, I decided to be grateful. Way too many people never get the privilege of aging. Many more age in very poor health. Some of it is due to heredity, some to lifestyle, and some to plain old luck. I’m grateful to be healthy and able to do what I want.
Aging has its benefits too. It’s easier to trust yourself and worry less about what others think.
“Your 40s are good. Your 50s are great. Your 60s are fab. And 70 is fucking awesome!” I recently read this quote by Helen Mirren. I think that says it all. 😉
