today i had the most intimate exchange with my mirror. i was putting on my make up when i noticed that i had developed fine lines. honestly this is the last thing i needed to see. the other day my boyfriend told me i had grown old!and i no longer looked innocent as the day we met. wow!i know he didnt mean it that way but it did wake up my devils. well i guess he was right with the fine lines around my eye and the ones running from my nose down to my mouth. but this lines are as a result of the great joy i havce had in my life. they are not aging lines they are laugh lines and i should be happy to have a constant reminder of my glory days.yes i have had difficult life outstandingly wen our house was auctioined, my first heartbreak, death of loved ones...but i have had good times too and they dominate my life. this eyes have seen smiles and laughter. after that reflection of the many good times i have had and the people i have shared it with i felt satisfied with my fine lines and in fact no concealer today. i should be greatful and with that i whispered a little prayer. knock knock!that must be george he get impatient went i take too long to dress for work. a look at my watch and i curse! i am fifteen minutes late.

Ilove your positive attitude,don't let anyone take this positivity away from you...As for your boyfriend I am guessing he doesnt look the same as when you both first met right ..but you love him just the same...so smile and stay positive,like you say the lines show the life you have lived...And I am sure there have been many more happy times in your life than sad...so keep on smiling...and love your face lines and all...

Sounds like you have a tremendous outlook. Be like Susan Sarandon she says " I earned my lines! Hurray for women with character! Just take as good care of yourself as you can. Throw on a little daily moisturizer, and live your life. When your boyfriend says you have grown old tell him "Yes I do feel more mature, thanks for noticing" and flash him your best smile. Have a great day.
