I too, think of myself terminally as age 30, not sure why! It's not that I don't notice the flaws, or that I'm too busy to bother with makeup most days anymore, just that I accept things as they are and focus more on family and getting satisfaction from things accomplished. Although I thought acne went away by age 40... surprise surprise... I guess not LOL! And Mama Pea? You are beautiful and don't look or act your age... I thought younger!

My birthday falls on New Year's Day. I think there should be a law against it, quite frankly, as you can NEVER forget it. And neither does anyone else who knows you. Blech. <br /><br />Mama Pea, I don't have the wattle (yet) but I have inherited the Smith family pouchy eyes. If I also inherit their longevity, I guess I can forgive them...;o)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-55177054087026516952011-01-06T08:21:54.118-05:002011-01-06T08:21:54.118-05:00Oh, I LOVE the way you termed that.....aging Grate...Oh, I LOVE the way you termed that.....aging Gratefully.

I think it stopped at about 30 something for me also. However, the aches and pains, (arthritis in hands, sore back and neck, etc) are there to remind me. I am not graceful-I whine and moan about every bit of it, and as I roll off the couch to get up when I am achy, I am sure I look like my fat, old mini-horse rolling around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-78520454858392934872011-01-05T18:16:47.463-05:002011-01-05T18:16:47.463-05:00P.S.

(For which I'm grateful!) Oh, maybe a smidge more frustrated that I still have that gargantuan list of things I want to do . . . and haven't managed to get done yet. Hubby and I have been taking a bit of flack lately about "when are you going to slow down and take it easy, you are getting close to 70, you know!" (He's 69, I'm 67.)<br /><br />Physically, I've overnight developed my family's inherited trait of floppy wattle under my chin which makes me unhappy whenever I look in the mirror.

From time to time it may need to be Up'ed not because we are feeling old or looking old, but because we get wiser, seasoned, well lived.<br /><br />So long as we are happy and healthy and our bodies are in sync with our minds, age is just a date on a piece of paper handed to our parents when we were born, right?<br /><br />I think you are lovely and wish you an overly joyous HAPPY BIRTHDAY!The Apple Pie Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10340020795649093810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-69794002922944636872011-01-05T17:50:34.700-05:002011-01-05T17:50:34.700-05:00Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!

Amazing. <br /><br />Since we're aging together, you will always be the same age to me. Does that make sense?
