With how busy life has been of late, I usually do not give myself a minutes thought but today, as I was running through the Charlotte, NC airport, to catch my next flight, I thought back to earlier this morning and the emotions I was feeling. I felt completely unsettled.
In the midst of my morning beauty routine, I stopped and stared at myself in the mirror in a way that I have not done in ages. As ridiculous as this may sound, it shocked me at how much my body has changed. Not necessarily in a bad way but in a way that tells me that I am getting older. Why didn’t I take notice of this before? Now mind you, I’m nowhere near the age where I need to start worrying about my own mortality but lately I can’t seem to reconcile the age that I feel I am emotionally with the age that I know I am biologically.
As I continued to stare at my reflection, I couldn’t deny that I am softer, yes, and a bit more fragile than I remember. My skin seems more translucent, less forgiving. Although I believe I take good care of this temple I call my body, I must say it wouldn’t hurt to treat it with more care. Pamper it a bit more. Mistreat it a lot less. This body is my home and if I plan to live in it for a long while, it’s best that I start thinking of putting this body on a serious maintenance plan.
Be well my darlings!
xoxo
