Reflection

I observed the most beautiful woman at my gym the other day.

She was about 75 years old. She was doing yoga poses. She was so focused and peaceful.

I had just finished filling my head with junk about poor Demi Moore and how she is loosing it.

All on a count of the fact that she has completely placed her self worth in her image and what people think of her looks and body.

She admitted that.

Sad.

So now contrast, this woman I am watching. She has all natural grey/white hair with the old blond ends. Only it is soft and sleek and pulled back.

She has on these awesome stretch pants with little hearts in different, bright colors all over them.

She is wearing some funky yellow socks too.

I couldn't help myself....

I walked over to her ( when she came out of a pose) and squeezed her arm, looking right into her sparkly, crystal blue eyes and said " You are adorable! And I love your pants!"

Her face lit up and she gasped, "Thank you so much!"

I then told her I hope I am still doing yoga when I am her age and she assured me I would if I just keep doing it every day.

Here is Demi, who has fought the aging process, tried to remain young, and has fallen pitifully.

We should embrace old age gracefully! Aging is beautiful!

Self confidence, self worth and sincere love for oneself is true beauty!

I hope I am the natural, happy, shining, heart sprinkled pants wearing lady when I grow old.
