The search is real, even into your 60s, and so is the fear that you never quite meet the impossibly high standard for women
At 64, the decades of wear and tear on this not-so-itsy-bitsy body came under a glaring spotlight recently when I realized I need a bathing suit. It’s for an upcoming sunny vacation with my family, where I’ll be required to get semi-naked in a public pool, exposing the winter white and ancient horror that is me. Nothing could make me entertain this terrifying prospect. Nothing except my one-year-old grandson. Who will want to be in the pool. Where I will want to be with him.
Three score and four years in, my body loudly broadcasts the roadmap of my time on this planet. Wrinkles are more accurately called crevasses, and my skin is a dermatological paint swatch of colour gradients and textures, with new “wisdom spots” cropping up everywhere and every day. I’ve got eye bags that no longer qualify as carry-ons but rather a full set of Samsonite luggage and an ever-advancing neck wattle that’s threatening to get me trussed at some Thanksgiving in the near future.
Now my non-running “chicken legs” as my family calls them click like a bag of marbles when I climb stairs. However, my “chickens” still get me where I need to go every day; most importantly they still carry my now pudgier body to my daughter’s house where my saggy arms can still lift that perfect new grandson.
