It taken decades until the age of 62 to not care what others think of me. You are beautiful inside and out, Jane. 🤗

Jane, you are beautiful inside and out. As a woman, we always worry about how we look how we act. Wondering what others think about us. When in reality we're all too busy thinking about ourselves mostly. When I complain about my looks in front of my husband he always replies, today is the best you ever going to look. Sometimes I just wanna smack him. Just kidding. Men are not held to the same standards as we are.

So true! Many of us are worried about ourselves. Lol. Today will be the youngest we will ever be!

Men don't have the same standards. Although, there are more commercials geared towards men an aging but only 1 to a few million compared to women. I still don't think they get how it affects us daily

I love this! Today, I am 54.

This number is so odd to me as I feel young still- most of the time lol 😉😁❤️

As you took the first Brave step, I will follow-

Happy birthday! I know what I feel inside will never catch up to my chronological age and that's ok. 54 was a time of beginning in a way for me, yet I struggle. Thanks so much for commenting and reading!

As we age, we wear our souls on the outside. Some hang, some shine ☀️

What’s wrong with the pic ? Looks great to me. A smile, but that sparkle in your eyes says it all. Honest, real and down to earth.

Oh yeah - inner beauty is where it’s at…you got that.

Thanks, Ken. I like this photo much better than some filtered photos. When my son looks back some day. I want him to see a mom that is happy, truly happy

You look gorgeous and confident and someone who has got her shit together! It's so hard to be vulnerable (for me anyway) and be shown as we are. Thank you for this! if more of us did this, I think we'd have less shame, as women, about this natural process in life!

Awww, Gayle! Thanks so much. I don't feel that way many times. I feel like a big mess most days. It's always surprising how others see us

Thanks so much for commenting and your kind words. I truly appreciate you

Wait till you get to 73 (like me). My wife told me to quit screaming when I turn on the bathroom light every time I go to the toilet at night. I had a night light, but I thought I kept seeing a ghost in the mirror.

I've found in life that the things that bother us the most don't bother us at all if we don't ALLOW IT to. I use say I have high standards and that's why I dressed whenever I left the house and covid happened 😮 I now go to the store without primping in the mirror 🪞 because I accept what I look like to me🤝🏽💯😎
