Great write, Joyce! Just today I was at the hairdressers. We had such a laugh when we discovered a whole row of gray hairs neatly arranged smack in the center of my head! Who put them there and why? I don't feel that old to have that many gray ones! But, hey, this is life, eh? Gotta laugh as we age and just go along with the changes.
Amen, sister...I hear you loud and clear! Great write, Joyce!
To be who we were created to be, and not some drummed-up idea of a fashion designer, or such....
I think it's wonderful to watch the silver come and carry the changes we bear with dignity, too. We are Daughters of the King of Kings!
Joyce...you said it here! We were all created the way we were for a purpose. I believe that we've got the right eye color, right size, and right personality for the job that we were meant to do here on Earth. Unfortunately though, our human nature takes over, and we want someone's else's job. Then we start to think that what we are just isn't good enough--and that's when the trouble begins...
More people need to read something like this--so they can just get over it, and get on with life. Bravo--timely message!
Very good! You are great at capturing a mood. I respect your ability to spot the silver lining. You are obviously a good, Godly person who tries to think on a positive level. Thank you!

as we age, we notice the obvious changes but what's most important is that we are content spiritually and psychologically, feeling at peace with ourselves ...
outstanding write ...

After 50 everything goes. It all boils down to what you can shore up, cover, clip or ignore. But the memories! Wouldn't trade them for the world.
Love this.

Joyce..very cool poem...i've developed my own 55yr old strut..kinda like it...keep on truckin'..
A deep look at the you of yesterday and today. We all see these unwanted tell tale signs creeping in. I wish we could stop them ,but alas thats not the case. You are so right. Maturity does come with age. Good write....M
Be happy in the skin you're in; you're a child created in the image of your Father. I just wish mankind would realize that not all of us are model material..........thought provoking excellence in verse!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
I heard a lot of abuse growing up about my weight; I'm 180 pounds and proud of every one. I exercise, try to eat the right things, and have learned to love the Princess of the King that I am!

Your words Joyce are always saged moments I love to relish like instructions from the master himself. We age and then it is sage and time does run onward and we do too. I like this one comfortable in my own skin.
Good for you! There are way to many more important things than to worry over growing older. Most of us age the same as you describe and those who face it with grace, as you have,look much better than they think they do. Excellent poem Joyce!
