How feel younger longer

One of the main reasons we feel old, is the loss of flexibility. Yoga can change all that! No matter what your age or what your size. Yoga can transform your body and your attitude.

       Tips for doing yoga

Get up, dress up and put on your make up.  Nothing makes a woman feel better than looking good. Find a flattering hair style. Get some professional advice on make up and skin care.   Go through your wardrobe, get rid of all the non-flattering and ill-fitting clothes.  I recommend developing a capsule wardrobe. Many options from a few carefully selected pieces.

How to create a capsule wardrobe

You need to feed your mind as well as your body.  READ. LEARN. DO.

Life is short. What are you waiting for? Take that trip you have always dreamed of. Start your own business. Use the good china. Take chances. Quit making excuses.

The only things stopping you are in your own mind. It's not too late to be the woman you've always dreamed of being. What have you got to lose? Try.

Traditional Roles in Marrige

 The heroism of  loving and supporting your wife and family, as well as the heroism of putting your husband and family first.

 Real love isn't a temporary thing. It last forever and most people today are not willing to make that kind of a  true life long commitment.

Divorces are so common today that society is not even shocked, but is that what you REALLY want? Or do you want a life long, loving relationship?

 I believe God's laws are given to us so that we  can live the best possible life.

Glamping!!!!!

So, there she is: our "new" glamper. She's older, but still going strong. Right now, she's at a local dealership getting the once over and having the roof sealed. When we get her back, I have painting to do! I can hardly wait!

Once she is decorated and road worthy we will begin gently, by taking her out locally. Then a bit farther afield this summer. by the time Gillian leaves for college this fall, we hope to put the house on the market and hit the road full time!

In the meantime, we are clearing out the attic and sorting out our belongings. It's not all going to fit in a 30ft camper! So, some will go in storage, some will be given away and some will be sold. We have 4 months, so we are going slowly and doing a bit every day. Makes it less overwhelming that way!

We're going on an exciting adventure and I just can't wait!

What to do now that you are over 50

  So many rules! Don't wear your hair long. Don't wear your skirts short. Join AARP. Slow down.  Take these vitamins. Do this exercise.  You must wear a bra. You must have surgery to get rid of wrinkles.

Geez!!   

 As I read all these articles and hear all this advice from "experts",  I just want to say,

"Bite me".

 Why should some 20 year old get to tell me what I should or should not wear?  What is it to anyone else what I do with my hair? The health "experts" are generally hawking something, so their advice should be taken with a grain of salt anyway.  AARP seems, mostly, to want to sell me insurance. And,  I hate bras. I've always hated bras. I think my girls have EARNED a little comfort and freedom after all these years. 

You know what you should do now that you are what ever age you are?  You should sit down and think about what you want to be when you grow up! Then, make it happen.  Dress in a way that makes you happy, makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel attractive. 
Ditto with the hair...dye it don't dye it...cut it, don't cut it. Do what you like! It's no one else's business.

You should take care of your physical health. That much I believe is true. Exercise, eat healthy, get enough sleep. Certainly we can all agree that your good health is much more likely to last longer if you observe those "rules".   But your emotional health is equally as important. Look for things that make you laugh and things that occupy your mind  and your imagination in positive ways. Go be the person you have always wanted to be!

Sure, people will criticize you. Some people are just not happy unless they are trying to make other people as miserable as they are. Pity them. And then go out and do your own thing. Life is short. Make the most of it.

      Happy Valentine's Day to my                         sweetheart!
