Description:This was a fun layout to do. I took this photo myself and then used photo shop to alter the photo. This was the first time I used a black and white color scheme with the red accents. I really like how it came out. Thanks for looking!!!

It has taken me years to finally be comfortable with the mental and emotional aspect with getting older. In my 20’s I was insecure and constantly struggling with my identity. When I turned 30, I was depressed for days. At 37, I now know who I am and I do not worry about what other people think of me. I am finally mentally and emotionally secure with my age.
Physically, I struggle with getting older. The wrinkles are slowly appearing, my skin is starting to sag and I can see age spots appearing on my face and on my hands. Weight is gained more easily and harder to lose. I also hate the fact that there are more risks to getting pregnant, and if I do, I
will be 58 before the child is even twenty. What if I die young like my mother did? I want to see my daughter get married, to see her have her children and to be a grandmother. All the things I didn’t have.
But I do not dwell on this fact. Instead I choose to look at the beautiful daughter I am gifted with, my wonderful husband and the fulfillment I get from each. Life is good.
