Its that sick flip of the stomach and a tightening of your chest that tells you all is not OK !Its our instinctual response to fear and up there in out top 5 is Ageing . It takes up a little space in the thoughts of us girls of a certain vintage ! As the saying goes there are only two things you can be certain of in life -death and taxes and whilst the latter can be sorted out by a good accountant there seems to be no-one on whom we can off load our torment about the former .
I dislike the process of ageing and how it seems to sneak up on you ! god it so just sneaks up behind us and takes hold . I dont like any part of it , Im being honest .. I quite like the face and the body I've got .. thank you ! and I dont want a different one ! I dont like the leading up to it and I dont want to see all of my experiences the good the bad and the ugly ones too all etched out on my face..... aarrgghh .. It feel like a twisted joke from above .
At 43 I worry about my many imperfections and that they are evidence of the more serious crimes that are lurking beneath waiting to one day bring pain and disease.
When I was in my late 20's I was given a book by Louise L Hay called you can heal your life .. I flicked callously through it paying little attention to the wisdom of this woman .. I wasn't going to age ! I feel very diffferently about it today and know that we can heal our lifes and there is so much we can do to soften the ravages of time and lifes good and bad eperiences .
Balance is the key to everything but in our society it has become so accepted to be stressed out . A friend of mine whos business is doing great just now said to me last week "buisness is doing so good just now I hardly have time to piss" their words not mine, It did get a loud shreek of laughter from me but left thinking well that isn't brilliant ! Athough Im sure their bank manager will be their new friend for the time being . I'm very aware of my own personal body bank and as I go into my 5th decade (kicking and screaming) I would still like my bank to be my pal in my 8th . I'm very careful of what I deposit and dont like to be in over draft no more ! Invest in your future and keep it well balanced . Look at your diet , exercise and I dont mean pound the treadmill till you cant breathe or you get so mind numbingly bored staring at your reflection in the mirror you can't stand another minute . I mean breathe in some of that energy and stretch that body and most importantly I think take a look at how you really feel are you happy because if your not you need to change something and fast !
When I'm 60,70 and 80, I want to feel happy with my wrinkles an know that only the ones that truly deserve their well etched place on my canvas are there !
