#growingolder

I want to share a thought with you — I honestly don’t understand why at 20 my brain just didn’t have the processing power, and my analytical skills only unlocked with time. It’s as if age, the simple passing of time, had a soothing effect — calming down emotional thinking and allowing logical thinking to grow. I absolutely love being in my 30s. I can’t wait to see what happens when I turn 40! My early youth, though colorful, was so turbulent — and now I’m reaping the fruits of that fermentation ☺️. Born in 1989, I’m aging like good homemade wine! The older it gets, the richer and deeper its flavor 🙈🥰

Happy Monday. I'm still here and feeling good today. Yesterday, was another story. My knee GROUNDED me. I mean, I couldn't even walk. I even though I may need to head to the hospital. Yeah, it was just that bad. I stayed laid up and rubbed my prescribed medicinal cream all day long, took pain pills and hoped for the best. It ended with me feeling better last night and feeling almost human today. Lesson to the story? When your body tells you to STOP.  You must STOP.  I'm really happy to be up and about today and even a tad bit giddy about it. Hubby did the laundry yesterday so I'll be cooking today and getting some work done. Don't worry, the cream is being applied and the pain pills are being taken. I'm making sure I also stop if I think I'm doing too much.  Hubby always tells me I'm doing too much and I'm actually trying to listen. My body is 50 with some arthritis. My mind thinks I'm 30 with no ailments. What does that mean? I've got issues! I am a work in progress. What can I say? Let's have a great week.  If you like my outfit, head over to my @liketoknow.it page to learn more:  https://www.liketoknow.it/seriouslynatural #shorts #bikershorts #yogashorts #womensgraphictees #graphictees #monday #ootd #growingolder #selfcare #headbandwig #headbandwigs #fiftyandfit (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKejS0LFLL0/?igshid=jg4440fba87i
