What is your age? Do you remember anyone in your family growing older that "that Bitch Mother Nature" Hasn't Visited? Do You Know anyone over 75 who looks as they did 10-15 years ago?
When I was Very Young I remember looking at my 2 Grandmothers (whom I Dearly Loved) & feeling sorry for them. Both would Complain about losing their youthful & middle-age beauty, however I MUST ADD - to me they were both Beautiful Women ... gracious, thoughtful, loving, & both had delightful 'senses of Humor'. One grandmother in particular ... should have been 'a Stand-Up Comedian'.
Then I observed my Mother & Mother-In-Law, as they aged. They Both talked about getting Cosmetic Surgery, but when they finally got around to visiting cosmetic surgeons they were told "Too Late, if you were going to have 'work done' you should have started in your '40's, or '50's.
I took note ... shortly after turning 60's I looked in the mirror one morning & said, "OK Cutie, If You're going to 'Do It', it's time find yourself a Very Good Cosmetic Surgeon & find out if he can help you (or if it's too late)!"
2 Months later he performed my 1st Face-Lift! Afterwords People kept telling me I looked Terrific - Much younger! I was delighted! The surgeon advised me 'This'll only last +- 10 years before you'll want to come back." He Was So Right ... 13 years after the 1st procedure I was back, he did another surgery. at my Last post surgery appointment he said, "This is It. It's your Last one. When you'd like to have another, No Surgeon In His Right Mind'll take you as a patient, not at the age you'll be then." At that time I was 75.
Today I'm 88 ... several new acquaintances & a couple of Dr.'s have recently commented "You Don't Look Your Age - 88" ... looking in a mirror, I see an older face (older than I saw 10 years ago), but as long as people make those sorts of comments, I'm Happy! I Don't Regret for a Nono-second the temporary-discomfort that went with having Cosmetic Surgery, nor the expense, after all ... NO Health Insurance Policy covers elective surgeries.
The way I look at it, "You Can't put a Price-Tag on Happiness." OH & several months ago I was with my 20 yr. old Grand-daughter in an Airport (waiting for our flight), the young woman sitting next to us struck up a Conversation ... while we were talking she asked each of us our ages. I told her I was (am) 88, Both She & my Gran-D. were astonished! ... the lady kept saying "You're Kidding" & my Grand-D looked at me - Wide Eyed & kept saying "Really? Really?" (Enough Said?)
