Another Dimension

I am larger and my measurements are different. I no longer have the long lean body of a 25, 35 or 55-year-old woman. I prefer sleep and rest over exercise, I enjoy my wine with dinner over drinking an ice tea or milk .. THis vessel, my body now supports my smaller gait, my slower moves. I
 enjoy long social dinners, rich sauces, artesian breads and desert 
without guilt.
 No matter what I would do, that specific time and younger body will 
never return, as it should not. I am older, wiser and more comfortable in my skin and  with who i have grown to be. 
I am larger, sweeter, more comfortable with my own time tested 
opinions based on my own experiences.
 My laughter is louder and more frequent, my friendships are 
more dear,and most cherished. My family is at the top of my priority list and is most important, while my ego is no longer in check.
As Popeye the Sailor man said "I am who I am".
 I still blush, make mistakes, and blunder but without fear of rejection because I know myself and I know who my friends are. 
I no longer get nervous with long silences when with other people. I have come to realize that no one really cares if you eat at a restaurant by 
yourself, NO one is starring and if they are, I must be empowering them
 to do the same.
I like that saying" Grow old with me the best is yet to be" because I
 believe it to be true
