too sexy for my age......too sexy!

"I'm too sexy...

too sexy for my age...to0 sexy for my age

....to0 SEXY!"

ME

Well it is almost here

that moment 

when 

I become the age 

that I used to think was ancient..

over the hill,

almost in the grave....

and

you know what...

as I hit the top of the hill called 50

or mountain as it has felt on some days....

well

looking over the edge of mid-life

doesn't look or feel or seem half bad...

hell

I'm sexier and have a hotter body than I did at forty...

I'm almost sixty pound lighter

I'd hoped to be 90 pounds lighter by now but 

you know

sexy hot

is

sexy hot 

regardless of the number.

Age brings about a different feel

it transforms us

heals us

and

somehow 

someway 

if we let it

helps us realize the

fragility of life

the 

sacredness of each little moment

the wonder of sunsets and rainbows

and

snowstorms and rain.

Suddenly

the little things

like whether my make-up 

looks right (and off color daughter did make the comment yesterday---you know most mom's teach their girls how to put on make-up or dress them in frilly clothes---it's a shame that somebody your age can't get their lipstick on right--dear lord mom!!!)

I no longer care

if I'm dressed the way everybody else thinks I should

my spandex for the gym is comfortable

and

I'm sure 

makes me the hottestest 

thing on the treadmill or stepper---yes I'll admit it if nobody else says it.

I wear my jeans and sneakers 

and cotton long sleeves shirts...

sexy is as sexy does--that's what I always say....

so here 

as I hit the edge of 

what some consider 

half-way

mid-life

I stand on the 

edge and

say...

Here I am world

sexy hot mama

...

now what we gonna do?

Have a great Monday...

and

remember

sexy is as sexy does

spandex, jeans, crooked lipstick and all!!!

The radical rambler

random acts

5.   stopped to listen to an older mother

tell me about the fact that her daughter

is dying right before her eyes...all I could do was stand

hug her and let her talk....presence is often everything

6. sent a facebook note to a fellow blogger whose writing has meant so much.

7.  a "random" act of hope to a stranger

go...on be a great day and make a difference to someone.
