Theme #15 Old - "Not Always A Bad Word"
Picture by Sharleen Benoit
OLD! That feared word. At least when it comes to age and calendar years. No, I'm not talking about wine or cheese but about people. What connotations the word has! Old can be desirable too... in my photo, the teacup is about fifty years old and in perfect condition; that's good. The napkin and lace tablecloth as well, vintage and lovely.
The hands? Wellllll, they're veined, blue and wrinkled. The knuckles are thick and the fingers are crooked. No longer youthful and beautiful by magazine standards. But wait!
Look at those nails!
This almost ninety year old gal is all about having fun. She's celebrating her hands and all they've been through, all that they've had to do. Those hands have rocked five children, buried one and now, the fingers still manage to snap in time to the music (as long as the dampness hasn't settled into her bones that day, preventing her from snapping.)
So celebrate your life! Have fun. Be silly and paint your nails crazy and wear all your diamonds every day because it's YOUR day and you are beautiful.
