You've lost some hair and maybe put on a few pounds and perhaps you're not so spry anymore. Each year adds to time's shellacking. Moping around the house in between beauty naps, you fear age has wrinkled your appearance. And there are times you feel like an antique, but baby, time gave you that lived-life patina. Why not wear your age as a badge, what’s wrong with being a senior? Life's patina, looks good on you.

Excellent use of patina. Starting to see the other side as well. Wisdom and so much more comes with older age. I love my husabnd more, feel the sentiment of grandchildren. Blessings, dear friend! ...Kim
