Just a fun little ditty to remind us not to sweat the small stuff but be grateful for the blessings we have and to stop judging ourselves so harshly! Xoxo
My thighs and buttocks have dimples… So I'm grateful they have so much to smile about! As my stretch marks, or laugh lines rather, can attest. You must forgive my breasts…they've been upbeat and perky for many years and they deserve a rest. My calves have a sense of fun! Bored with the same tan color, they've decided to decorate with streamers of purple and blue. Not to be outdone, my arms have joined the fun, waving with enthusiasm whenever my hands do! A life well lived and full of joy, of laughter, love, and humor. So now you'll know, if you hear I've “let myself go”, that it is just a rumor.

I see this woman and she is beautiful, her mind and personality and character have aged like fine wine. Each sip is delicious and satisfying.

Hey, Crystol. Your poem is a great, upbeat way to look at the process of aging because, after all, it sure beats the alternative! I hope you have a safe and wonderful Christmas. Take care. Jim

Sigh. Do we fight it or embrace it? I choose to fight, though I'm slowly losing the battle. I've got my greys and lines. Cute poem Crys

I think I choose to fight one day and the next I embrace age lol. One thing about it, it's a blessing to grow old at all when so many die young. Ty for reading! Xo
