On Aging– Hopefully Gracefully

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
– Mark Twain

If there’s one thing that no one in this world is exempt from, no matter how rich, how poor, how thin, how nice, how evil, how generous, WHATEVER… it’s AGING. Yes, we are all aging. And we are all fighting it at the exact same rate as the next person. Some will age better, some will age worse, but it’s a process we all must face whether we like it or not.

2010 is a big year for me. In April, I will turn 35, and in August, I will be married 10 years. Yet, it all feels like yesterday that I met my hubby (I was 17), and then pushed out a couple of kids. And although I think I keep myself looking pretty decent – I work out, I eat very well (minus McDonald’s which I LOVE and don’t deprive myself of), I am mentally quite sane, and the eternal optimist, I do notice the aging process happening. Not in a major full on wrinkle kind of way, rather the “Wow, I’m just not 25 years old anymore” kind of way.

What If You’re Just Feeling…

Lazy and unmotivated!

So far, in 2010, I’ve put on 5 pounds, I haven’t been to the gym once, and I’m feeling kind of lazy and unmotivated. My whole inbox has been flooded with emails about keeping new year’s resolutions, sticking to the plan, and Oprah’s 21 Day Mind Cleanse. I have to tell you ladies, I’m just not there yet. And I’m kinda yuck about it. I wanted to start 2010 off with a bang.

Maybe it’s cuz the party’s almost over. Although we’re technically still on vacation, my hubby’s brain is back to work and he’s now on his Blackberry non-stop. Weather here has been freezing over the past few days and we’ve been running around with the boys trying to keep them occupied. Boys have been at each other’s throats non stop. Little one threw up Sunday night all over himself and the car rental while on our way to a nice dinner for my mother in law’s birthday. There I was, all dressed up, yellow rubber gloves and sponge, scrubbing away with Mr. Clean and Febreze. Hot! I’m in desperate need of a date night with hubby and a little “me” time.  Sometimes too much of a good thing is just that… too much (mirror mirror on the wall, I’ve become my mother after all!). I think it’s time to go back to Montreal to the minus 25 and snow.
