I Slipped From Pretty

3/2/2020

4 Comments

 
​Hi Friends, this is my blog for March
​I slipped from pretty into good looking for her age quite without notice,
Perhaps Jane Fonda can handle both but, somehow, I couldn’t hang on
I think it had something to do with those two quite significant swollen pieces of skin, on my face, one under each eye
At first, I tried to think they were sensual and soulful, like Anna Magnani in a De Sica film, the images floating like a dream in my head.
But reality knocked and, I had to face that they were from sleepless nights manifesting them selves by the loose skin of aging.
Then there are the wrinkles, so if I had my eyes fixed, what would I do about them?
As if I slip covered my couch , what about the club chairs ?
If I told you my age, you would laugh at me because at 85 I still worry about these trivial things while I live in a time of roulette  
 If we land on one number we live, one number we die
Am I that shallow still
or is it because I grew up in a house
where our worth was judged by our beauty?
If my destiny is to live another 15 years then I must learn to look at myself as a glorious piece of antique architecture, nicked and rained on but
still interesting to behold

Well, we should never be subjective and base everything in looks. I hate the fact that people are after the looks of people and they are not even trying to look at the heart of people they meet. I don’t care if you consider it as a degrade. But your looks does not mean you are now lesser of a person you used to be. I am sure that you have other assets that can still make you the best, so you should always be positive all the time about that matter.

Soooooo true! You are by far the most gracious "older" person I know. I'm right behind you in the same age group that was brought up to believe that looking good was the only sign of beauty. Luckily we've found out that beauty is everywhere!

What comes to mind are your words about the messages of beauty and wisdom seen in those stones, those tree trunks. All signs of Mother Nature’s strength, adaptations and resilience.

Thank you for all you do; you are so appreciated and loved! <3
