SENIOR LADY COPING WITH CHANGE!

https://www.nytimes.com/



I am going to be honest and say it, 

This COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! 

I was adjusting to the "STAY AT HOME" advice from the CDC. I do venture out once a week to run errands and get groceries. I realized that was spending days on end wearing

my drab & faded everyday clothes.

I reserved my worn faded out jeans and tops to wear when I am staying at home. My business casual clothes and dressy clothes were to be worn when I eat 

out at nice restaurants or go to

church. I had stopped wearing 

earrings. My pierced ears were 

about  to CLOSE UP! My lips 

were dry because I wasn't wearing 

my lipstick with moisturizers 

in it. I took a good look at myself 

in the mirror and  I was shocked

 at my appearance. This I don't 

care attitude had crept into

my life, unexpectedly. I realized

I had to do something to boost 

my morale! I started wearing 

lipstick and putting on earrings 

even if I was staying at home! 

I began to wear my business 

casual clothes when I left home 

weekly to run errands or shop 

for groceries. I started wearing

my fancy sundresses on Sunday. 








I got a bright idea and decided that 

I would take a SELFIE on my cell 

phone! I sent the SELFIE to my Senior Lady Facebook Friends. This is was an action swore I would never do.  Now 

most  of my  Senior Lady  friends and 

I exchange Selfies on Sunday

afternoon.

I even bought some pretty face masks 

to wear when I leave home. My wonderful college roommate even sent me some purple print face masks in the mail. I was so 

delighted that she thought so much of me!

I called her up and thanked her many times!

This really made me feel better. I save the 

generic blue masks for emergencies.


Here are some colorful face masks 

I might buy next time:

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends. MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING: * Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect * Choose one item that interest you.  Some people do theme collecting like vintage toy

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
