I think one reason I am leery about aging is that there are few role models out there for women who have aged with class and style. There are a lot of tired old women out there and , yes, many - if not most - have earned the right to be tired. They have lived full lives with much trudging. They are entitled to slow down, to get frumpy, to be less than enthusiastic. But every so often I run into a woman who has aged with enthusiasm and I want to be her. I need to start practicing now. Thanks for a thoughtful post.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.com
