can we all relate?

[Guest guest]

To all,

OK, time for reflections and maybe even a few chuckles! This is from

my mom-n-law:

I can almost feel myself losing weight....by forwarding this to you!

Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This

gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.

In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wingspans. We

are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in

drag.

Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can

see your rear without turning around.

Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is

the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.

Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube

top and scream, " Listen honey, even the Roman empire fell and those

will too. "

Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're

sitting on our biggest ones.

Mid-life is when you look at your-know-it-all, beeper-wearing

teenager and think: " For this I have stretch marks? "

In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can

retain is water.

Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand

McNally -- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of

Wisconsin.

Mid-life means that you become more reflective...You start pondering

the " big " questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy

Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is

important.

We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but our

loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the

knowledge that you have now for the body you had way back when?

Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and

love we've acquired.

That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!

Send this to four women and you will lose two pounds. Send this to

all the women you know (or ever knew), and you will lose 10 pounds.

If you delete this message, you will gain 10 pounds immediately.
