You’re doing a wonderful job. I hate the fact that people don’t accept the fact that we are human being. I mean we growth up and growth old. That’s the beautiful of life. Just call me an old school but i love all antique stuff. I love wrinkles, no kidding. At this time of my life i don’t have any wrinkle, but i love my Mom wrinkles. She is so sexy with them. I wish i had the guts to tell her that. Oh God, this is a nonsensical jumble of words. I just want to say that we should love ourselves more. And i love your blog so much. It makes my day!

In my 20s, I always thought I would be one of those really cool women who age gracefully and enjoy life regardless of aging. Now in my 50s…..well, I find that I’m about as graceful as a giraffe dancing on ice.

Thanks for sharing from your heart. It’s an awesome reminder for me that there are way more important things in life 🙂

Thank you for sharing that. I needed to hear it. You have been a blessing. One of my best friends is in her late 70’s (Mamaw) and she is always sharing how thankful she is that the Lord has given her a long life and how thankful she is for the wrinkles, age spots, and love.

Wow, Rebecca…you came in with a slam-dunk on this one! Seems many of us women are so busy caring for and raising our families, nurturing others, and working throughout our lives, that we suddenly- finally- come to this “a-ha!” moment of loving and appreciating the person we’ve become. Many surgeries since birth made me pause long and hard before I would even put on a bathing suit and show my scars. Now I don’t care. Four years ago I even stopped getting my hair colored, and how free I felt! There came a time many years ago of peaceful realization for me, a well of gratefulness for all my family, friends, and others, and the things that brought me to this place, scars and all. I get these uplifting moments in incremental doses, that carry me through my valleys. I believe I am finally hearing the still, small voice of God, because he does create beautiful ‘things.’ I can say I like me. Thank you for your piece, for me it touched a poignant place.

This made my day! I’m 27, a mom of two insane and beautiful boys and teach fitness classes in NB, Canada. I love that your message can stretch across any number of kilometres and still hit home. I am starting to notice lines on my forehead and by my eyes, and after a moment of panic I realized, too, that they tell my story. Thank you for perfectly expressing what I feel. I can’t wait to show this post (and your blog!) to so many of my female clients who spend more time fearing age than embracing their lives! I am so happy I came across this post and your site (thanks to How Sweet It Is). I wish you all the best, you beautiful creature!!

Thanks for a great post – so encouraging to those of us who don’t look like 20-something models with picture perfect little toddlers. Thanks for encouraging us to celebrate our laugh lines and wrinkles!
