The greatest gift of all.

When I turned 50, I decided to stop dying my hair.  I remember walking alone one day (during the pandemic) and realizing: “Hey, this is what 50 looks like! My face has wrinkles, but those lines around my eyes are from times that I laughed!  My skin is looser and hangs more under my jaw and chin, but that’s gravity.  That’s just what happens!”

My face has wrinkles, but those lines around my eyes are from times that I laughed!  My skin is looser and hangs more under my jaw and chin, but that’s gravity.  That’s just what happens!”

So then I had the thought: “What if I just decided to accept and love myself the way I already am? And what if I DECIDED that I was beautiful?” The minute I had this thought, I could feel every muscle in my body heave a sigh of relief.
