Awesome Things About Getting Older

Ten Awesome Things About Getting Older:

1. You no longer worry what people think. You own your style, your flaws, your awesomeness.

2. There’s no guilt when turning down invites, saying no to things that aren’t good for you, and sending regrets. You know where you need to be and put yourself there.

3. You know who your people are, and let go of those who aren’t.

4. You are grateful for the things you have and no longer desire the things you don't. Purge. Save. Choose wisely.

5. You can smell phony a mile away. Authenticity is key.

6. You know what you like when it comes to things like food, fashion, the company you keep, movies, & music. You aren't afraid to ask for it.

7. You no longer feel guilty when you can’t immediately return a text, email, phone call because you accept the season you are in.

8. You can go places alone without a hassle, like the grocery store, doctor’s appointments, and hair salon. Your kids are old enough to be left alone. Bonus: They can carry their own stuff.

9. No one needs you: every second, all day, every day. You can dress cute again and take a handbag rather than a mom-bag. You pretty much own your FAB-U-LOUS-NESS!

10. You value your health but also don’t expect perfection. You exercise for well-being. Dress for yourself. Laugh until you cry. Cry for no reason at all. Nothing beats a hot cup of coffee (or two). And you happily spend time with your kids because you have learned that the days are long but the years are short.

Getting older is G-O-O-D and certainly beats the alternative!

XOXO,
