Midlife.....
I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about
how mid-life is a great time for women......
I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share
them with you.
Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing
your luck) you'll probably relate.
Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down.
This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired
mustache.
In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wingspans.
We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying
squirrels in drag.
Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror
and you can see your rear without turning around.
Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that
this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.
Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely
in a tube top and scream, "Listen honey, even the Roman
empire fell and those will too."
Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves
and we're sitting on our biggest ones
Mid-life is when you look at your-know-it-all, beeper-wearing
teenager and think: "For this I have stretch marks?"
........
But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what
is important.
We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double,
but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any
of you trade the knowledge that you have now for the body
you had way back when?
Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom
and love we've acquired.
