A young friend of mine had a post today that hit home for me...he said," I'm ready to act 32 instead of 22, but now that I am 32, I look at other people that old and think...gosh they look old...do I look like that?" I told him I knew exactly how he felt and unfortunately, it won't get any better. Turning 60, I always thought, would never happen to me, because that was old and of course, I never thought I would get old. I don't know what I thought...I guess I was in denial. I still have people tell me that I don't look 60 and I certainly don't act or feel 60, but when I look in the mirror...I know the real truth. I am slowly accepting it...like what else can you do but accept it. I have a friend that has decided to tackle aging by exercising vigorously and saying his prayers. I guess he's got it covered on both ends...living as long as he can and when he dies, going to heaven. I guess I have some work ahead of me.
Many friends have turned 60 already and I look at them and think....its not so bad...they are as beautiful and sexy as ever. So you do what you can to stay young...if that is exercise for you, then go walk to the moon, if getting more in touch with God eases the anxiety, then by all means, do that too. What I have learned in these 60 short years I have been alive, is every person is different and deals with things the best way they know how. I think for me...buying a new push-up bra and panties might do the trick.
