So This Is What 38 Feels Like

Well Friends
I'm now 38. I don't know what I expected but the most unexpected things are happening. Horrible little black hairs are sprouting up all over my chin. Extra long light colored ones are popping up on my cheeks and shoulders. Everything has decided to sag an extra few inches. The gray hair now out number my brown. I know I'm to young for menopause but one minute I'm hot the next I'm cold. Who knew! Why didn't someone sit me down when I was 18 and say quit wasting your time hating your body this is as good as it gets. Wait till your 38 you won't recognize it.

Now the good things about being 38. My husbands belly is as big as mine so no one notices. I'M IN LOVE. I HAVE FANTASTIC CHILDREN. I HAVE GREAT FRIENDS who can appreciate all the gifts of being 38 from the previous paragraph. THE BEST PART IS THAT I LOVE MYSELF SAGGING BUTT, GREY HAIR, CHIN WHISKERS AND ALL. HERE'S TO THE WOMEN WHO CAN TRULY SAY I'M GREAT AT 38.
