When I am an old woman. Forget it, when is NOW. What if I don't live to be an old woman? Do I want to miss out on the joy of buying satin sandals?? I want to gobble up samples in shops [like Costco, midday on Saturdays] and press alarm bells [definitely not at Costco] while I can. I want to wear purple with a red hat before I'm too old to know it's not a great look. I refuse to let some old outdated code of behaviour tell me how a woman 'my age' is supposed to act. I will routinely walk barefoot [when I'm not wearing my satin sandals], I will eat dessert for dinner if it pleases me, and I will continue to paint my toenails grass green during Spring. I didn't get to forty-eight playing by ALL the rules and I've no intention of holding back now. Life might be long, or it might not. All I know is that I'm here now- willing, able, and ready to see it through, fully engaged and alive.
