I remember the 3 year old Paige. You have aged gracefully! I am 55 now and still the middle sister. There were times I would have given anything to be an only child. My two granddaughters (Conner, 12 & Cadence, 6) live with me. Sometimes they keep me young and at others they make me feel my age–and then some!

Oh Paige stop that!

Do you know what I thought when I saw your passport photos? I was marveling at how much more beautiful you become over the years.

Yes, the 33 year old Paige looks more direct, but the 43 year old realizes the world is more complex and nuanced, and has experienced and understands much more of what life has to offer.

I hope you go visit Canada already! (I’d send you to Newfoundland, in case you are interested)

Was at the flea market the other day where I heard a guy say when he wakes up seeing the tips and not the roots, he knows it’s a good day.

Made me laugh — and also know that aging is okay when the alternative is considered.

Found myself, while peering in the mirror for a moment today considering injectibles — something I would never have thought of considering my feminist upbringing, and would never admit to my 18 year old daughter.

Not gonna do it — gonna be brave and see how I turn out in the end, naturally.

And you, my friend, are still quite beautiful — and John is right — you have changed very little.

Do you frequent Ann Leary’s blog? I think she might be a neighbor of yours — and someone I could see you being friends with, if you aren’t already.

i have the word acceptance tatted on my forehead, hey, at least i am alive, and how i love this life of mine, the sun has left me spotted and and faded, the back shrieks when it sees the shovel, but, i still keep going, i just stay away from the mirror, and people who insist on closeups with the flash, eeekkkk!!!! Just enjoy your family, your accomplishments, and life!!! oxoxx a sister, in her 50′s and still believing the best is yet to come, really!!

Today, I turn 47. My body is about the only thing behaving badly.
I think I’m getting jowls.
Every month brings changes now… and a fierce admiration for the those elderly women that maintain fabulous lives , smiling, and giving and making friends with their wearing out shells.

My sister and I are in our mid and late twenties, but we are already marveling over our bodies’ changes. Things are changing and shifting! It’s nice to have someone going through it with you, though. As always, she understands! :)

I am not answering your question, but now that you have passports you and John and the kids should go to Montreal for a long weekend. I KNOW you have that issue of Gourmet from a couple of years ago that proclaimed Montreal the best food city in North America. You will be in heaven because you will think you are in Europe when you go to the markets.
