Thank you for this. And your note to me. I feel honoured. You write so well. Maybe the beautiful girl will read this.

That is the beauty of age. One gains more stability which is necessary for usefulness and peace of mind, but one CAN also keep a sense of curiosity and wonder intact–maybe not to the extent it us found in a child, but to a large extent nevertheless. We are all children in God’s huge astounding mysterious world.

I agree with you, Linda, on the beauty of old faces as well as young. I worked at a nursing home for a number of yours and grew to LOVE those old faces.

Hi Lucinda, isn’t it interesting that I as a early 50’s aged person :) I find old faces very interesting..always have. I’ve always wondered what caused the lines in their faces and am interested and often amazed when I hear their stories.
I thought a lot about the comment I left and wanted to remove it. Its your blog and you are free to write whatever you want. I wouldn’t be here reading it, if I didn’t usually enjoy the way you think and write :)

Amen! I did caregiving as well before becoming a mommy . :) your real-ness inspires me :)

Thank you. And I like your thought about age not necessarily taking away the questions. I know that is true, but I guess sometimes I forget.

They ARE beautiful. I worked at a nursing home for quite a few years and learned to really see and appreciate that beauty. This post explores the attractiveness of youth, but much could be written also about the attractiveness of age.

Thank you. As I yours. :)

Hi Linda, the post was not meant to be offensive, only to explore what it is about youth that is so attractive. I value “old” faces as well. I really like Romaine’s comment above, and maybe my reply to her will help you understand where I was coming from.
