So I take my shower last night and I am brushing my hair out and checking out my now 30 year old skin. Hmmm...is that a wrinkle? Is that a freckle or an age spot? I dive into the drawer and pull out my RE9 REpair corrective eye cre'me and Oil of Olay Age Defying intensive nourishing night cream. Yes, crows feet and laugh lines, I'm comin' at ya hard! Now I am full blown checkin' myself out. Is this the body I thought I would have at 30? I see rounded shoulders, stretch marks, a flabby stomach...is that a vericose vein?!?! Now don't get me wrong. I mean I know I have had 3 big, healthy babies (one of them weighing in at 11lbs 1oz at birth) but what role have I played in my body staying in this shape. What habits have I formed that I need to replace with better ones? Judith Viorst was quoted "You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health and the children you have earned." That will make you think.
Well there you have it. Don't you love that in an attempt to better myself in the first year of my thirties I start with my looks? Vanity Vanity...
Oh well.
