Rock Stars

That's us. Morning, ladies. This weekend that all too irritating phrase of “we women of a certain age” reared its ugly head. It never sounds like being part of a privileged club but rather a sentence from some condescending judge. Why not just say “we old hags” or “we who no longer count” or how about stop assuming I’m in that category in the first place? Oh alright – I admit it, I AM a woman of a “certain age” but I’m starting to kick and scream my way through that identifier. I’m thinking that phrase needs to be changed to something that really reflects how most of are at this point in life. For instance:

We are grateful

We appreciate the past

We respect our elders (if for nothing else, they make us feel/look younger!)

We are adventurous

We are accomplished

We are more grounded to reality

We are more practical

We are more forgiving and accepting

We continue to grow in intellect, talent and spirit

We “get” the phrase “take time to smell the roses”

We are closer to perfection

Yep, I think that’s it. My new phrase will be “we women who are closer to perfection”. 

P.S. Feel free to add onto my list!
