I think most women can relate to this more than we may want to say. Great piece.

Boy that hit home. I am 56 and its hard to admit I am not young and pretty anymore. I definitely took THAT for granted!! Now I really have to change the way I see myself. I have to constantly remind myself I am more then what I look like but its sure hard. Thanks Katy for reminding me I am not in this getting old thing alone!!

I agree with you. My looks used to mean alot to me, not so much any more. I can’t stand the middle age spread and wrinkles! I used to have a “hard body”, it still is, under a layer of fat! I know if I would have kept smoking I would still be thin, but I’ll take not smoking and being healthier anyday. I hate the constant battle for weight loss, never ever had that before 4 years ago! At least my husband likes me skinny or heavy, he says theres more to love now LOL.
I think you look great, and I’m sure you think I look great, but we are both going through the same thing right now, coming to terms with getting older. We will get through it and like you said, instead of being “pretty”, we will be BEAUTIFUL!

you’re already beautiful, Katy, inside & out!! xo And I find people with true inner-beauty “prettier” than shallow or mean people who might be blessed with Hollywood’s definition of “pretty”…
Inner beauty trumps superficial prettiness every time

Wow, Katy, I loved this piece. It’s the stupid fashion industry with their freaking skinny beautiful models. But beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I believe I’m beautiful because I have a wonderful giving heart.

Cool advice, John – only problem is that I LOVE my home office! Oh – and we don’t have the money either!

Been there. Done that. Even if it hurts the budget in the short term, get yourself some rented office space. It will keep you on task. And since you’re paying for it you’ll make sure to use it. Was strange doing it, but the most productive move I ever made.

I know it. Not having kids myself, my immune system can’t seem to cope with the deluge of germs I kiss on Christmas Eve!

This is too funny. I survived until post-Christmas. There was a lot of hugging. With kindergarteners even.
And, yes, I’m big on “feeding a cold.”
