Words from the wizened.

I thought I'd offer this point of view
though it sounds a little smug;
but this article made me glad at last
to be ugly as a pug.

For if you (like me) have always
been thought of as quite plain
then as you grow older and wiser
your looks can only gain.

Or if they don't improve with age
take heart from my short verse,
if you start out really ugly -
at least things can't get worse!

Inspired by an article in the Daily Mail about a beautiful 38 year old mother who resents her daughter's beauty because it makes her feel old! I shall ask hubby if my teenage son has the same effect on him. I suspect the answer will be a snort of laughter. I regret nothing about my 'lost' youth and neither does he. We didn't 'lose' it we learned through it and to be honest we are both having much more fun in our forties and expect (barring unforeseen and beyond our control health problems or family disasters) to have even more fun in our fifties.

Age is just a number. EQ - not so much ;)

Ooh - I just got smug again LOL
