I am 53. My hair is graying. I'm looking older all the time. I'm good with that. I am the only one of my friends who doesn't color my hair. I don't have a problem that they do. But it does make me sad that so much of our conversations revolve around them trying to look younger... different clothes... different makeup ... special diets ... now there's talk of plastic surgery. Yet to me the things they are doing don't make them look any younger. It's just making them look more and more like a distorted version of themselves.  I say embrace the gray. Other than the health issues that come with aging I'm enjoying the process.  I feel like I have so much more to give. I have a wealth of life experiences. I appreciate my time on the planet so much more. I'm not dead yet... I'm just older. Here's to the next set of adventures life has to offer.
