A Fit Tip:
[Throw a fit or use my tip!]
Ripe avocado and yogurt is a fantastic moisturizing home facial masque, as verified by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Andrew Ordon. Mix it to a creamy consistency. Slather it on your face, neck and décolletage. Leave on for about 20-30 minutes.
If you’ve stumbled upon this blog, well, frankly, I’m not sure why. This is a personal diary for the fifty-plus. I’ve had this blog reserved for over six months. I stole the name. From my mother. It was always going to be the title of her book.
Mom had the wit and humor of an Erma Bombeck. Rarely was her humor at the expense of others. Mostly, Mom just had a way of seeing the absurdity in life situations and the antics of us as the reactionary human beings we are.
My dad says if you wake up in the morning it beats the alternative, and if you beat the alternative you either ripe or you rot. I’m still wondering if I’m going to grow old gracefully or if I’ll be fighting it, kicking and screaming all the way.
What I do know is that I wouldn’t trade my 50+ years for any thirty year old. No way. My life is duplicitous, perhaps. It is now the giving up of ego while blazing a name for myself. A living and walking dichotomy. While it is true my skin used to fit, I’m comfortable in my own skin.
I can’t think of a better time to launch. New year. New cheer. And I had my Folgers Coffee Christmas moment, for Mom’s grandson, my son—moved down to live with us here in the Sonoran Desert.
I’m going with the idea that the 50+ is the new 30. That’s a good start! And if you still need some inspiration, check out the 101 year old woman who gets up, dresses up, & shows up to work every day! http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/40851943#40851943
