I am Middle aged...

by: janeygodley

I am now 46 years old as of yesterday. This means a host of things.

1- My womb will slowly fall apart and hormones will start to flood my system till I kill an owl or shag a teenage boy.

2- I will start to wear jumpers with shiny sequins and appliqué butterflies.

3- I may buy a small fluffy dog and call it my ‘baby'.

4- My hair will get cut into a manageable bob so that when I take up hill walking it won't get bothersome.

5- I will start collecting miniature ballerina's made of porcelain and attend conventions where other old women talk about porcelain.

6- Water colour painting classes will fill my days and I will start visiting small towns to capture the features of the charming cobble stoned streets.

7- I will stop dyeing my grey hair and embrace my age, I will stop wearing a bra and let my moustache grow into a full on Magnum job!

So that's what I have to look forward to.

It means more freedom to enjoy your life, be with whom you want to be with, speak from your heart, take on new experiences, travel more, get a sexier bra, flirt with life as life is all we have. To give in to 'proper' thing to do at age 46 is to give up on some of the best years of your life.
    Peace,
