For the price of a bag of oranges
I’ll be an ass for my id
look ten years younger
redefined
revitalized
renewed
the wizard says
just follow the yellow brick road
for a trial run.

Note: I read this morning about these face creams containing ascorbic acid (vitamin C–the “fountain of youth”) and hyaluronic acid touted by a famous physician and was tempted to order up a “free trial.” Just the price of postage. I refrained and ate an orange instead. Because I know what the real “key ingredient” is. But still, who doesn’t want to look eternally young?
Congratulations on the orange instead of the wizard’s potion. And thanks for the MSG rendering of Psalm 103 — If we are young in his presence (and when are we NOT in his omnipresence??) then the opinions of the age police matter not.
Ha. Good point, Michele! 🙂
As I will be turning 60 in less than a week, I’ve been contemplating what it means to age gracefully. I think, perhaps, it’s looking in the mirror and seeing myself as God sees me – young, vital, and His beloved child.
Loved this post, Sandy!
Blessings!
Happy early birthday, Martha! My daughter put my 60-year-old picture in the local paper. I wish she’d warned me so I could have had my roots done. 🙂
But I know where we’re both rooted.
I recall thinking of how much money I *haven’t* spent on cosmetics through the years, and wondering how much different I’d look if I had spent some. But the truth is, we grow older with each new day, and I’d rather accept the changes and enjoy the adventure of living. (But I would like to grow old gracefully, and I think that has more to do with my heart, mind and soul than with my increasingly wrinkly skin! Ha!
Yep. Remember the ads that told us we had to start buying all those creams in our 30s to maintain our youthfulness in our golden years? I always thought I’d start tomorrow. These days I use a little face cream and a little eye cream and call it good. And I don’t always wash my makeup off at night…
