You always know the right words to say, at the right times.

I also try not to have photo's taken of me......... until recently.
I also decided not to colour my hair anymore. It's time to embrace me, the real me. greying hair, fine lines, and all.
I'm in my 50's now and I have earned these trophies.
In 2010 they gave me 3 to 5 years, we know that's all bull and that if the treatment is correct, we can go a lot longer.
I said that I wanted to get to 50, well I have done that plus more, which is why I have now decided to embrace me.

Maybe Nuts is my middle name too

Love you long time
I think we can all call ourselves 'Nuts' - the really good nuts, the expensive ones, the rare ones.
I've thought about letting my hair go natural, aka grey, but it's too long so I'd have to shave it and start from scratch. Not sure I'm ready to go there yet. Ha ha.
I too am in my 50's now, so every birthday is a blessing. I shudder when I hear people complain about wrinkles. I am so grateful that I get to see my wrinkles because it means I'm getting older - something that was iffy in 2010, just like you.

As for saying the right words at the right time, I'm glad you think so, because I went to bed last night and was questioning myself about my comments... "do I say too much" (yes) "do I come across as a know-it-all?" (yes) "do I come across as condescending?" (I hope not, but probably), and on and on it goes. So thank you for that.

Stay strong (as always) and enjoy the ride, the wrinkles and the grey hair.

Lots o'love back at ya!
