as we age
« on: April 10, 2017, 06:56:09 am »
slight changes occur.
thinning hair is one thing that happens.
there are some of us who keep a thick head of hair.
I have a neighbor in her 90's whose hair is thick and full.

I have been under a ton of stress for quite a while. I now take a hair/nails vitamin to keep hair on my ole head.

You said it, some of this aging stuff is for the birds.  My Mom and Dad have a sign hanging in their kitchen that says "Old age ain't for sissies!" and another one that says "Be grateful for each day, because everyone doesn't get them".

I know just what you mean. I use to have long long hair and that is gone. Sometimes I think I will have it again but I guess that is just a dream. >:(

I still have my white very very thick hair at less than a week of my 79th birthday!

Stress does not help with hair.... I noticed that every time I am more stressed I loose lots of hair.

As we age... I see wrinkles I don't like on my face..... terrible! :D

But aging also means being still alive and enjoying everything that surrounds us.... so there's a lot of positive aspects about it ;)

I was just at an annual girly appointment within the last week or so.  Dr. and I were talking about getting older and I said, "you know the one thing I really don't like about this aging thing?" "What?" He said.  "It's all those weird hairs I'm seeing pop up that have to be plucked from my chin."  And moles?  What are they about?

age is not something I wanna do.   I look like my mother more and more everyday  LOL  That is not a bad thing tho.  I just have more stress in my life and me and stress don't get along  :(  But I will deal with it,,,  and keep on moving to another day :)

I don't know.  I feel good and I look good....in my own humble opinion.

You lose all the energy you had when you were in your 20's.

It's a part of life and we deal with it.  I didn't think I would wear a wig but I have a wig drawer full of them.  A pastor once said if you don't want to get old leave here early.  I don't think many people want that option.

Getting old isn't for sissies as  some one said.  I am  almost 74, yes my hair has gotten thinner and  whiter. But it is not  all from old age some was from stress of losing my children  some  from being ill a few years back.  But i just look at it and say oh well  the less i have to do to it. I now keep it very short as it is baby fines and  straight instead of curly. Now it is  just wash and go. Gives me more time for something else to do.
