Our faces are part of the map of our lives, the good bits & the bad, all those lessons learnt, all those moments passed. I too forget how old i am & sometimes have to stop & work it out, my children laugh and think it is a ploy! Lovely to finally get back to catching up with your writings.

Do I worry about growing older, sadly I do. I never thought I would either. What hurts me most is the perception of others towards me. It's as if I am not who I once was because I'm over 50. Much harder to get quality jobs and there is a feeling you pick up from others; how you are treated. Dog ownership is one thing besides being a parent that brings real joy to my life. My dog does make me laugh and smile each & every day.

I’m in my mid 40s and have a close friend in her late 20s and another friend in her early 50s. The rest fall in between, and I always forget birthdays. <br /><br />Age does not matter except to kids and to criminals. I never post my exact age on online because of identity theft.<br /><br />The Onion did a spoof about a “35 year old actress dies of old age.” The judgment is frequently harsher on women than on men, especially for romantic leads.<br /><br />Here’s to dogs over face-lifts: woof-cheers!Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-47020459774721274072011-01-19T10:15:02.237-05:002011-01-19T10:15:02.237-05:00You had me at woof! :-D

My best friend always lies about her age, which is ridiculous - she's 56 and looks it, so when she tells someone she's "in her forties" they look at her with raised eyebrows.<br />If I were going to lie about my age, I'd lie UP, not down. I'd rather have people saying, "you look GREAT to be 74!"<br />And you're right - dogs don;t care. All they want is someone to love...and have that love returned.

Passed down thru generations, no longer so vital, it turned simply into a prejudice against older people. So people fear becoming an object of less desirability in society. It's a stupid concept.

Not everyone looks as though they could model. Its strange to me, as you say, how altered people look in Hollywood movies and TV and does diminish my ability to sink into the story, I find most of the faces look strange, tight and awkward, yuck.

I find it rather refreshing to see a woman with a few wrinkles playing an attractive woman.

There comes a time, if you live long enough, that you are proud of your age, as am I. Oh how I wish days had 48 hrs. so I had time to get all of the things accomplished that I dream of doing.<br /><br />As for Eloise, she is the pride and joy of my life and gives me a laugh each day with her antics.

It's just a fact of life that some people age better than others and we are all aware of it, like it or not. Did you ever notice how the British actors don't seem to spend so much time worrying about keeping themselves so young? They seem so much more content with being natural, and I wish more Americans were that way. <br />I miss my dog, she loved me no matter what, now I have cats...they love me too, but it's not the same!Lizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375091482164484893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-19759644210840494802011-01-18T08:01:44.728-05:002011-01-18T08:01:44.728-05:00Lovely blog, wonderful photos.
