Fighting a Fear

This is for women from the age of 35 and up. Staying young is every womans' dream. Unfortunately, we all age...just do not let it get this far. As you can see this woman regretted it :)

I was always afraid of getting old when I was younger. Looking at this picture that my son took of me when we took my grandchildren to the fair showed the fear on my face. I absolutely disguise pictures because it only shows how much older I really am.

Here I am stuck at a fair with all these beautiful young women. I’m the old lady that makes them think to themselves “I don’t want to ever become like that.” Its true, no one does, and I sure didn’t. Look at me! How did I allow myself to get so wrinkly? My hair is white, why didn’t I ever think of dying it? The pain of being old hit me hard when I saw this picture. This picture opened my eyes and made me realize I needed to do something about my appearance. I gave up a long time ago, thinking that old people are supposed to look like this. Who made those rules up? I did in my head, which I regret. I need to fix this, which is my new goal…
