I am 46. I have never lied about my age (well, since I was 21, anyhow!)
I am proud of my age. I have some silver hairs, and I am proud of those as well. I’ve earned them, fair and square. They represent stress conquered, and a life lived. While I do dye my hair on occasion, I do so because I like the red color, not because I want to hide the white. If I could dye my hair and keep the few silver ones, I would.
Yes, I have wrinkles. Having wrinkles, in fact, shows me that I’ve lost weight. They show me I’ve laughed and cried, and lived my life with joy and gusto.
What, truly, is the reason for life? Is it to have a lovely corpse, unsullied by the marks of life? Or is it to slide into that final parking space, and say, what a hell of a ride!
So, go out, laugh at a joke, enjoy a movie, go cross something off your bucket list. Why work every day for a better tomorrow, if you aren’t certain when tomorrow will be? A better retirement, when your bones are too weak to walk around Europe? Have some fun in your life now!

Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore! Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Disorder, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels. Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.
