Falling in love with myself after 50 is the bomb! Lettting go of societal, and internal, pressures about "what should it be like at my age," or what I "should look like." I can't be 34 forever. (Yes, it was a great year for my tits. But they still feel great when my guy loves them.) I don't care anymore!!

Living fully has become the object of my desire. Life is what's happening. 

Life! Precious, fleeting, hard, sad, scary, gorgeous and delicious. A treasure. A gift.

No more complaints - achy hands - saggy knees- let's crawl out of bed, put those tired feet on the floor and - ouch! -  walk off that plantar fasciitis. It's not like this body is going to suddenly reverse this aging process - we are headed back down into the dirt. Feeding trees.

Until then, and let's hope it isn't today:

Women over 50 - sisters, mothers, grandmothers and aunties, girlfriends, lovers and wives, singles and lonelies and fed-ups and sickies and happy's - GUESS WHAT?

Nobody is watching. Set yourself free!!!!

I'm over the hill....and flying!

Ain't it a gas?! 

(PS don't forget to take your probiotics.)
