I want to share a couple of words of wisdom I gathered about aging, aging gracefully form IN Style this month's issue that helped me grapple some sense to this whole getting older thing.

"Your 20's is a time to discover who you want to be in this world, and to do that you have to let go of the past."

"Fear stands for "false evidence appearing real. Think about that everytime you doubt yourself."

What you should look forward to in your 20's is being a mother and having a family, but now is for being with yourself, learning to love yourself, friends and family.

Try to keep a broad smile handy always in this world that can be very trying at times.

There's nothing you can be that is better than yourself. Copying anybody else, no matter how great they are will only make you second best.

On aging:
Be excited to beccome more aware of who you are. Keep surprising yourself, like a fine wine, keep getting better, and better.
It's not about a number. Age is largely what goes on in your head/ What matters most is what you do with your life.



And in my case, it isn't much, but I am still hoping more is to come.
