As someone who has just gone through menopause, I really related to the bathing suit-weight gain-will I look silly in this bathing suit I bought and love. You summed it up beautifully-own who you are and where you are in life and stop focusing on all the perceived” faults.” Enjoy who you are! Grace, gratitude, self-love and a change in perspective need to be the cornerstones of life at this point and moving forward. As I think Bette Davis said-and I am paraphrasing-
Getting older ain’t for sissies! Buckle up and get ready for the ride!

I appreciate your honesty. That takes a lot of guts in this cruel, social media climate.

I am much like you. I grew up poor and was an outstanding, competitive athlete (tennis). Growing up poor, we didn’t have a full-length mirror, so I really didn’t know how great my body was. All I knew was I didn’t like my face, so I avoided mirrors. Well, I got my first skin cancer on my face when I was only 31, so from then on, I have worn a brimmed hat. I am now 66 and I think my face looks pretty fine. Ha! As for my body, it’s awesome: symmetrical, strong, and slender. I exercise 66-104 minutes daily (lifting light weights, walking, and Jazzercise), and I love eating healthy foods.

Now that I am older, my focus isn’t so much on my face or my body, but on my mind. I am working to keep my mind healthy and strong. So that is my primary focus as a beautiful 66-year-old woman.
Love ya, Erin!
Laura
