the sun is not our friend

the sun is not our friend

I love summer. I love floating in the pool and playing in my garden.  A few years ago I started noticing sun spots on my face. I stopped tanning my face, started using sunsreen and I would use a self-tanner for the sun kissed look.   Well this year i have decided to stop tanning all together.  This is a big step for me because I love to tan.  I am going to keeping don't all the things i like doing in the summer but cover my entire body with sunscreen.  So i am going to stock up on self tanners or maybe get a spray tan every couple weeks.   I have got to say I'm a little nervous about this.   I feel like I'm giving up the one thing I wait all winter to do. I know it is the right thing and I'm sure i will be glad in the long run.  So wish me luck.  I will let you know how it goes.

The Brain vs The Body: The Middle Age Debate

The Brain vs The Body:  The Middle Age Debate

I am in my forties and stuck in the middle of a very hard disagreement.  My brain thinks I'm still in my twenties and my body is in total disagreement.  My body is thinking I'm easily sliding into eighty.  Me? I'm just stick in the middle waiting to see which one wins. I think they are both crazy.  I don't want to be eighty yet and I certainly have no desire to be twenty again either.

Truthfully I like where I am.  When, my kids started getting older and leaving home, I didn't know what I was supposed to do.  It was really hard for me.  I eventually figured out that I could do anything I wanted now.  It was my time.  Yeah...the problem I'm having is that I have no idea what I want to do.  There is a big world out there and I got nothing.  Maybe my brain is winning.  I could always take up knitting.
