"Aging is not something we should be ashamed of -- it's something to celebrate. Because living is an honor. Because time is a gift.
We should be no more ashamed of our age than a tree should be embarrassed by its many rings. Instead of removing the lines, what if we celebrated them? What if we honored them?
I don't know how much time I have. But, if God is gracious, I hope I live long enough to get old. I hope I have so much joy in my life that laugh lines grace my eyes and smile lines etch my face.
And I hope when others see me, they don't think, "There's a woman who should going into hiding until she can afford a neck lift."
I hope they look at me and see a woman who lived.
A woman who gladly, proudly, joyously lived."
