Me: 48
Mommy: 88
"To all my female friends of/in their 40s and beyond...
Most of us are going through the next stage of our lives.
We are at that age where we see the wrinkles, gray hair, extra pounds.
We see the pretty 25 year olds and sigh.
But, we were once 25 too, just like they will one day be our age.
What they bring to the table with their youth and zest for life,
we bring with our wisdom, experience and good hearts.
For all we've been through - earning our gray hair, raising kids,
bills and ills - and whatever else life brought you/us...
We are survivors.
We are warriors.
We are women.
While our exterior may not be what it once was,
it is traded for our spirit, our courage and our strength;
[encouraging, empowering us] to enter this chapter of our lives
with grace and pride for all we've been through and accomplished.
Never feel bad about aging. It is a privilege denied to many.
Ladies, I challenge you to repost; with your photo and age."
