[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 191625, member: 3907"] TM, please don't let Duckie's comment get you down. I do like the suggestion of going through pictures and deciding what you'd like to look like. A new hairstyle, especially one that frames your face differently, takes a while to get used to. Duckie will grow to love it, I'm sure. Wendy, don't let turning 40 get you down! I am rapidly approaching the big 4-0 as well (only a month to go). My family has planned a big party too. And you know what? [B][SIZE="3"]I'm really excited![/SIZE][/B] I HATED turning 39. I felt very anxious, like I had to cram a whole bunch of things into my life this year to ensure that my life would be where I planned it to be by the time I turned 40. Then I realized it's just impossible to do. I thought about my Grannie, my stunningly beautiful Grannie, who did her hair, put on makeup and got dressed in a fabulous dress every day, even when she was dying of cancer and could barely get out of bed. She aged gracefully, never dyed her hair, wore every wrinkle, every extra pound with pride. She said that she earned them from bearing 8 children, having friends, smiling, enjoying good food and good company, enjoying life. I try to look at creeping signs of age that way. They're badges of honour, earned through the very hard work of being a good mother and a good woman, every day. I think we as women need to embrace our changes. We fought hard for them, and we earned them. TM, I think you look Great! Wendy, I think you look great too! As Alyssa said, [B][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][SIZE="4"]We are women, we come in all shapes and sizes, we are beautiful[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
