Aging Gracefully

I think I still look good enough for my age. I don't get compliments like I did when I was 50 (Before the pandemic, one nurse stopped Pretty and I when we were going into a hospital to visit a friend and told us Pretty had to wait in the car since you had to be over 16 to see patients. We were both wearing masks. When Pretty told the nurse she was 31 years old, the nurse looked confused and told me to take off my mask and then told Pretty to take hers off, too, and then congratulated both of us on how well we were aging. ) but only Pretty calls me grandpa in public and most people look at us and laugh. Sometimes Pretty will wait until we're in a checkout line and then tells me she'll go home with me if I pay for her groceries. She says it loud enough people at other registers can hear her and, when I tell her I don't think so, they grin and laugh at us. My hair only has a white streak in the middle with white in my sideburns and the rest is still auburn... I can't grow a mustache or beard anymore because they come in pure white.

Who says I age normally? I believe that some people are blessed with great genes and are beautiful to begin with. There are other noninvasive procedures that can help, too.

I agree. I also think that a large part of aging gracefully includes one's hair style and their choice of wardrobe items. And I have always changed the style of items that I wore every 8 years or so over the course of my life. Although most women, myself included, dislike our chicken necks, Harper and Willow love it and will quietly tell me when we are cuddling that they like that squishy part of my neck. It is hard to feel bad when they whisper those sweet nothings into your ear.

The physiotherapist of my husband, two weeks ago, asked me "how old I am", looked surprised and said "congratulations!". So I suppose I look good enough for my age and I look younger.

They are all lovely. Those three look natural to me.

I'm not aging gracefully. Know what? I am grateful that I am aging. One of my brothers and my Dad never had that gift.

One who has claimed she never had a facelift (but I think she has recently) is Christie Brinkley.

I have been told I don't look my age. I am happy with that

I am hoping that I age well too

I don't spend much time looking in the mirror. It's too depressing.

I also try to age gracefully by taking care of myself working on being grateful and happy.

Everyone says I look younger than I am; but that's because I'm fat; and my face doesn't have any wrinkles.

Some of them have done well with face lifts and then some have gone so far it’s not good anymore I love Reba so much but her face work is just getting on borderline too much. I think Steve Nicks aged gracefully. As has Steve Marin lol

Aging is a part of life and all of us should accept it as a naturalprocess.
