This Darn Body.

I am 29 years old and am holding and holding. That's what happens to women you see. After a certain age, we get a year younger on our birthdaysrather than older. We chose whatever age we feel we are at a certain time and hold. Emotionally I feel 29 or maybe 30. I feel I can still do whatever I want and I am optimistic a lot of the time. I do not look too much into mirrors. I believe longsightedness is a gift from God to women. You do not see the lines and less than firm skin when putting on your make-up. Just don't be silly and look too closely or intently.

Then there's my body. It is rather stubborn and will not listen when I say I am 29. It tries to prove me wrong in every way possible. There are parts not staying firmly in place as they did when I was in fact 29. The skin on my tummy does not spring back into place as it should. I can't spring into the air as I used to be able to but there lies another tale.

This darn traitor body of mine!
