But it also makes every moment more precious, and simple things like a treasure. I wish I could get my hair long and full like that again. My health problems have caused it to be thin and it doesn't grow as fast as it used to. I think it's beautiful!Peggy https://www.blogger.com/profile/01145742133819021414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801965264147884938.post-54718272631899968022013-09-15T14:10:04.161-05:002013-09-15T14:10:04.161-05:00Hi Shelley.

It is not social, no comment section...<br />Your hair is beautiful. I finally started accepting that I am growing old (56 now) ...it took me a few years to get over the shock of where did my 30's and 40's go! ha..<br />AndreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801965264147884938.post-84412509685251008902013-09-14T09:07:48.892-05:002013-09-14T09:07:48.892-05:00Shelley, what I've come to realize as I get ol...Shelley, what I've come to realize as I get older is that so much of what we think in life is important really doesn't matter. We strive to achieve things and goals and it is all vanity. The only thing that really matters is Jesus. I feel renewed in my spirit as each day I spend more time with Him.

What does it mean to grow old gracefu...Hi Shelley,<br /><br />What does it mean to grow old gracefully to me? I think that as our bodies lose their youthful strength and endurance our souls and spirits should and finally can become stronger and more gentle in ways that can only come after most of a lifetime is lived. We can finally see realities that our young eyes could not yet recognize. God can do a powerful work in an older person that a younger one might not be ready for. <br /><br />My hair – at 61 years of age is is waist length, becoming a silver halo around my face, (as my MIL graciously says of it), and I wear it up. These day I want to be as genuinely myself as I can in all the best ways, even in what it now my new natural hair color! I do use good conditioners that are more needed on it but I want it to be long, silver and real! <br /><br />Thank you for your beautiful post and asking us to join in. I enjoyed everyone else’s post, too!<br /><br />Love to you,<br />Lily Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801965264147884938.post-18696867025279246462013-09-13T20:03:32.301-05:002013-09-13T20:03:32.301-05:00Hi Shelley!

I confess that I do color my hair once in awhile, but my Mama used to say that the grays are natural highlights that are earned. And she was right! :o)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113466602714470004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801965264147884938.post-12305835284310918612013-09-13T17:43:39.720-05:002013-09-13T17:43:39.720-05:00my hair too, is long...too long for an 'old...my hair too, is long...too long for an 'old' lady of 51 I have been told. It will stay long and I wait for the gray. I was a yuppie in my younger days, so everything had to look perfect. My hair (short and blonde), perfect nails, clothes. I love being 'old' and relaxing a bit on my appearance. As long as my husband is not complaining, I must look OK. I will leave the beauty contests to the younger gals.<br /><br />Thank you the scripture. I will place that one on my heart.<br />blessings, jillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801965264147884938.post-56016755492953907752013-09-13T17:12:41.717-05:002013-09-13T17:12:41.717-05:00Hi, Shelley!

Menopause is finally making me realize that I am NOT a young girl anymore! :)<br /><br />I had let my hair go grey for 10 years and I loved it but now I'm enjoying being a brunette again. :) I'm think of letting it go when Bobby retires. ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801965264147884938.post-32808046120086182162013-09-13T17:09:59.193-05:002013-09-13T17:09:59.193-05:00Shelley, I know exactly how you feel.

Growing older is indeed wonderful, and unless you experience it yourself, you don't understand that. I was sixty-one in July, and I'm having the best time of my life right now, and look forward to more...plus I am losing some weight slowly but surely. Stay sweet and keep your hair the way you feel comfortable with. Have a good weekend!Deborah Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130428196849977763noreply@blogger.com
