I think I am going through a mid-life crisis! Wow, did I actually admit that?
In a society where women are being overwhelmed with commercials and other various advertisements…reminding us to win the war on anti-aging! When did getting older become this full on battle? Perhaps the same time the word “older” was banished from the beauty and fashion industry.
Some marketing executive –decides that as women we need to bring back that “rosy glow to our skin” that we had as a child…and suddenly we are stocking up one every new facial cream, lotion or serum that promises overnight results.
I love my age…LOL, I earned my age through years of laughter, blended with a few tears along the way. Every phase of life has something that is uniquely special and fabulous to offer. It is our own perspective on how we deal with it. My decisions and choices should ask two questions. Does it follow the Sunnah? And how will it benefit me in my faith?
Some of you may know about my love/hate relationship when it comes to face book. For the life of me, I don’t understand the fascination. Well that being said, last week I opened an account. My primary reason was to read information posted by some people I follow on twitter. Long story short, I closed the account the next morning. It just wasn’t for me. Being a part of every social network in existence is not on my agenda.
There are things I did in my 20’s and 30’s that hold no interest for me today. Regardless of our age, it doesn’t mean we should stop challenging ourselves, or making new discoveries. Life is about evolving and becoming a better you.
But on the road to discovery---make sure that we are in the drivers’ seat and the direction we have chosen is ours. Insha’Allah there will be many new adventures on my horizon. I will keep you posted about the good, the bad and even the mid-life! [Wink]
