Graceful Aging

The other day my son and I were sitting on the couch watching T.V. and a commercial came on about wrinkle cream. And the actress said (without a wrinkle, I might add), "you know those lines you get on your forehead." And my son, reached up and was trying to feel his.....so, I said to him, "Son, you are too young for wrinkles, they you get those when you get old." ........At that moment he reached up and ran his hand up and down my forehead and said, "Oh those!" Okay, after I threw him in his room and grounded him for 6 years I realized that I do have those wrinkles and I don't like them very much.....I really don't want to think of myself as vain...mainly because I can hear my father saying how wrong it is.....that and dancing, and I LOVE to dance especially after I've been drinking and I won't even go into what he says about that.....

I have found myself seeing my mother's hands when I look at mine....I can remember even when my mom was young, her hands looking old....in a childs eyes.....I also find myself looking more and more at the wrinkle control creams at our local discount store.....
