Aging Beautiful?

As I get closer to 50 (47 currently) I definitely start to 'feel' my age recently. Not only does the grey hair come in faster, it is more stubborn...

I see why some actresses fear the typecast of the mother to the younger starlets, not that I mind being someones mom, but it's merely how your state of mind comes into play. If it weren't for the continued stress one has (thanks to the continued bad economy), I can recall (no not a metaphor for the 'in my youth' crap) that not that long ago I was HAPPY!!

There was still stress in my life, I went through the first of my layoffs, followed by finally separating myself from my marriage and actually being in better shape.

So, is that Mid Life? I had people tell me that is what I was going through, but for me it merely happened during this time of my life. I had wanted out of my marriage quite some time before, I had worked hard at 40 to get back into some better shape (my son was the one who really gave me the best compliments for that) and I still had the courage, drive and will to survive and move forward.

But now, Aging Beautiful has become a struggle, I've lost some of that drive, my body doesn't respond to the workouts in the same fashion, I don't feel sexy anymore and I get tired of continually trying.  I MISS that!!

(oh, but I did give myself my Mid Life Madness tattoo - finally got my pinup girl, which is larger than I should have, my mother WILL kill me and well some people although say they like it, others have given me the 'rolled eyes' look - the OLDER individuals). Se La Vie

As I wrote this post though, I went back to my blog lists to update and I fell upon Advanced Style and here is my latest INSPIRATION... I'm going to be one of these AGING BEAUTIES!! F bomb Mid Life, bring it on...
