Age is an issue of mind over matter.
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

What Im seeing in the mirror these days cant possibly be mine...can it??!
Even without my reading glasses, Im becoming a tad horrified by what I see.
How can this be!!?
Nora Ephron wrote about this a few years ago...in a very funny, introspective book; I Feel Bad About My Neck...which I read quite a few years before I was actually fifty.
(I love Nora Ephron....we could be bosom buddies if we met.
Nora produced Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail!!
She also produced most recently Julie, Julia, which by the way I so gratefully received as a Christmas present from my sweet daughter in law.)
There's another movie, Something's Gotta Give (which has nothing to do with Nora Ephron,but has everything to do with growing older.) in which Diane Keaton plays a "woman of a certain age." (that would now be ME!!!) And the scene that has stuck with me for quite some time was when she was trying to explain the necessity of wearing turtle necks all the time.
I now GET it!!
Now my neck is slipping away even faster than my face; faster than that floppy piece of skin under my arms or even my butt!!!
I've arrived.
Im there!!
Im redeeming the ticket for my place on the turtle neck express!!
What will I do when its 110 degrees outside!!???
I thought I was doing well, embracing my 50hood.
I felt I was hitt'in my stride.
But...I am really having trouble with my neck!!!
I think I might cry!!!

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

There's your answer to aging skin- invest well!! I know how you feel, though. Just be sure and look up into the little mirror when you're in the dentist's chair and you'll look like your old self! You'll never get old because you love people and life so much and we love you!
I can relate to what you are saying here too. Not the neck, quite yet, but the jowels are getting to me. It makes me sad somehow to think that I will never be young again, that somehow all that "youth" is behind me never to return.... guess we better get used to it and make the best of it, but it ain't no fun.
