I had to feel the face of a woman who was about 85 and she had a wonderful map of wrinkles all over her face - and what I remember most is that her skin was so soft and velvety.

I'm 37. <br /> <br />I don't mind about my face becoming wrinkled or my boobs scraping on the floor. I am worried because I had my two children late (34/35) and I don't want to miss being with them. <br /><br />Every birthday I have seems to highlight the fact that my children will be young yet will have a senile, old mum. <br /><br />I would feel better if I could blame someone for making me feel this way, so Demi Moore it is. Plastic boobs, frozen face, lipo. <br />For pete's sake she does the ironing in her bikini! <br /><br />I will not try and live up to these unrealistic standards. I do my best, eat right and do the crosswords every weekend in the paper so I won't leave my marbles behind. I also tried to iron in a bikini but seeing as I haven't worn one since the 70's, make me feel awkward. <br /><br />But on another note, I could get hit by a mack truck tomorrow and I have spent the past 3 years worrying about growing old. <br /><br />Just live your life and the rest will take care of itself.suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663399157680843604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-25872417407093527452009-06-23T14:38:47.504+10:002009-06-23T14:38:47.504+10:00I LOVE my 30's and everything that it has give...I LOVE my 30's and everything that it has given me - wrinkles, maturity, appreciation for the fine things, creativity, a fabulous life and my little boy.<br /><br />And at the end of this year I'm closer to being 40 than 30 - bring it on!<br /><br />Great post.Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850257978687830782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-3828494346961177992009-06-23T14:29:25.568+10:002009-06-23T14:29:25.568+10:00Embrace it, defnititely. 30s are a good thing.
I...Embrace it, defnititely. 30s are a good thing.<br /><br />I recall having a minor age crisis when I turned 29 for some unknown reason, but it hasn't bothered me since then. When I get to 40 that may change, but it'll still never send me in the direction of botox and fillers and collogen. Too much pain and effort to only end up looking alien-like in my view.<br /><br />I do not embrace grey hair though. No, no, not at all.Ulihttp://ulishoes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-50260169585266339832009-06-23T14:28:16.868+10:002009-06-23T14:28:16.868+10:00Lovely post and I agree about the aging gracefully...Lovely post and I agree about the aging gracefully mantra... but sorry...as a post-40 year old, you almost lost me at "nearly 30"!

I fin...30! <br /><br />You're a babe in the woods Lexi. <br /><br />I find it gets harder to stay sanguine when the numbers are creeeping closer to 40. Two feisty babies have aged the hell out of me in the last three years. <br /><br />But would I trade a line?<br /><br />No way. And I made a brilliant partner-choice too - he's happy to grow old and wrinkly with me, and has entirely reasonable expectations. <br /><br />James Valentine last week had an intesting take - he thinks that women are too quick to cover greys, fret about wrinkles, etc. His theory: maybe you need to give up on being 'hot', but embrace that there is so, so much more than that to the package ogf attractiveness.<br /><br />Food for thought, but a moot point, Lexi.<br /><br />You're gorgeous!Rachael @Mogantoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284324325966835237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-29046129182245091132009-06-23T13:52:46.190+10:002009-06-23T13:52:46.190+10:00That's right, embrace it you OLD 20 YEAR OLD, ...That's right, embrace it you OLD 20 YEAR OLD, YOU!<br /><br />Personally, I'm the wrong side of 40 and I intend to put off aging as much as possible. Because the whole slowing down and bits of you not working as well as they used to is something I reject. But I promise I won't fembot myself, I just want to stay fit and active and happy, so far that seems to be working.Stomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-50438196003062443302009-06-23T13:52:21.114+10:002009-06-23T13:52:21.114+10:00here here!I couldn't agree more.

I stopped smoking in my 29th year on earth and got fit it was great...then Busy came along...now I am very close to 35 and thinking the same thing. in dec i was on a mission to get fit and for the first time ever to be able to jog. I can now run 4 km and counting I go to the gym 3 times a week and have an exercise bike too, I would not be coping with an ergergetic 2 year old if I was unfit- i feel so much better and amm seriously addicted to exercise again. go fourth and sweat!!!Cath @ chunkychookyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926661077860579075noreply@blogger.com
