A spath behind every bush

Yea Oxy! Right on!
Im nearly 72, but have no wrinkles,{I look after my skin,} and I try to dress nice,and put on a bit of make up, not too much!for MYSELF not anyone else.Theres this gorgeous looking guy in our newsagents, and i always say to him,
“Hi, Gorgeous!” He always looks so pleased, and blushes to the roots of his hair!
Lately if I go in there, and if his wife is not around, hes started to say.
“Hi, Gorgeous!” to me ,too.{hes around mid forties,}
“No, I mean it, he said the last time, “Today you really DO look specially gorgeous!.” {I had my hair done, and a new top on.}
I thought, hell, hes only saying it so Ill say it back to him,
but than I thought, “Why not just accept that and enjoy it?”
Edith Piaf, the singer, had a young stud lover in her old age, and it wasnt about her money, she was broke by then,but he was absolutely devoted to her.
Its all a question of confidence!One time I said it, and his wife overheard and said,
“You can have him!” “No thanks, I have a loving husband of my own!” I said.
How sad, I thought, that she obviously does NOT give him loving positive strokes!
Its our SPIRIT that shines,through, and that people warm to, NOT our outer aging coveing! This world is obsessed with youth,
and they never think old age will happen to them!
Cherie Blair, the ex British PMs wife, was patron on a society called,”NOJO”, which stood for,
“Not old, just older.”
Ive met 80 and 90 year olds with fascinating minds and personalities, who have lived, loved, travelled,and who were so INTERESTING and magnetic to be with, and Ive met young 20 to 30 somethings who were pretty,but boring, pompous, self absorbed, totally lacking in charm, eyes like boiled sweets,{no expression,}My ideal of beauty is an old wrinkled african woman with boobs down to her knees, no teeth, but a smile that would light up the world!
“Charm, as the writer J.M. Barrie said, “is a kind of Bloom on a woman, like the bloom on a grape.
“If you have it, you dont need anything else. But if you lack it, nothing on earth will compensate for the lack of it, not money, looks, dress, fancy houses, cars,etc. Real charm draws, like a magnet. It is genuine, its given away freely, without any expectation of a reward.It attracts people like bees to a honey pot.”It has nothing to do with looks.A woman or a man with real genuine charm will always attract, people long to be around them.It isa FREE GIFT!
In its essence, it is kind, compassionate, loving, fun, irresistable.Spath charm by contrast, has no real warmth or kindness in it.And it doesnt last, its all an act to suck you into their orbit.
Its al about confidence! So, backs straight, heads held high, we area force to be reckoned with!Like soldiers returned from battle, we have fought our battles, and are winning!Nothing in our lives will ever be as bad again as living with a spath!So, onwards and upwards,Excelsior!
We have MUCH to offer the world. With our P dar switched on,we CAN move fearlessly in this world, people NEED what we have to offer!As the Lord Buddha said,
“Walk in this world like the lotus plant, its roots in the mud of the river bed, but its beautiful head in the clouds! Walk through this world of pain and sorrow, with Bliss -bestowing hands!”A benison and a blessing to all we meet!
Love,
