Great piece. I also believe in addition to what you’ve said, there’s a quiet cultural undercurrent that tries to keep us hushed. Youth is celebrated, middle aged women—not so much. We’ve been ‘told’ on so many fronts we’re ‘done’. But, I’m finding the real beauty is just starting for me at 60! Yes, I’d love to have my 20 yr old body back, but the trinkets of wisdom I’ve gleaned over the years is quite valuable too. I’ve recently had to do many things that required bravery. The sense of accomplishment is quite satisfying and my confidence has soared. Thanks for writing on this topic!
Hi Pam. I apologise for missing your comment, even after four years of writing on here I am still grappling with this platform and still learning, which even at 60+ goes to show you're never too old to keep learning.
