Boy do I relate to you. I'm a big believer in relishing every single day and I find this pervasive anti-aging sentiment so destructive! For young women too. My goodness I was talking with a beautiful 27 year old woman at a recent Christmas party and she had already used Botox and had a tummy lift. I really find it so sad when young women are so distorted and hard on their appearance. I'm like you. Take care of your health. Keep learning! And keep pushing yourself out of your comfort level I think that's so important. I'm not a big make-up gal either, but yep I do color my hair. I began when my gray started around early 50s, so it hasn't bothered me one bit, but I haven't been doing it that long either. When it comes to clothes and style I really think we need to make choices without any hesitation about age, it's simple. Make the choice that makes you happy. And the one that helps you feel in touch with your beautiful insides. Lastly, I remain so incredibly thankful that I discovered the world of yoga, it has been a total game changer for my physical body and my mental health. I only wish we could go to a class together!<br />hugs to you and thanks for generating such interesting topics. <br />xo<br />LeslieLeslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367872267145012395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-3899342625636506082018-01-25T14:58:56.709-05:002018-01-25T14:58:56.709-05:00Elizabeth, loved reading your post. Aging... whew...Elizabeth, loved reading your post. Aging... whew! What a subject! I once worried about it, but now I am embracing each moment. I've learned to let go of anxiety and just live in this very minute. I will probably always color my hair and wear lots and lots of sunblock. Makeup.... depends on the occasion. Usually my go to products are mascara and lip balm. The best thing about this aging process is learning I don't need to make excuses. Hope you week is going well! Hugs!

I do want to live as long as I can in the best health possible. <br />Cheers my friend!

It would have gone anyway, so getting rid of it all at once was liberating.<br /><br />I've noticed grey in my beard though than I would have had in the summer of 2016- but that reflects a rather stressful few months I had following that summer, I think.

Quotes are just so impactful. I've been gray since a teenager. 5 years ago I stopped coloring it and I have to say I get such inspiring comments all the time. Guess the ultimate hairdresser knows best!

Instead of the goal posts being new things you are able to do, they become familiar things you no longer are able to do. We are happier if we feel productive and moving forward; luckily, it's always possible to learn new things. <br />Personally, I am focusing more on fitness than beauty. I think it's harder for women who were great beauties in their youth to see that essential part of them fade, to no longer turn heads. Older people, and especially older women, become invisible. Having never turned heads, I count on sprezzatura--la belle figure--instead. Good posture, a strong stride and a smile go a long way at any age. I do Pilates and run and stay out of the sun. That's it. All I want is to stay active and healthy.<br />I look forward to reading what others have to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
