Aging shows no mercy to our hands. The unforgiving light of a manicure illuminates our wrinkles, our bulging veins, and our prominent joints, all undeniable reminders that we are getting old. Aging isn't easy on anyone, but it's more challenging for women, in all walks of life, than men. Intimately connected with the loss of attractiveness, women grow 'invisible' as ageism and sexism collide. The gap between how we feel and the woman we see in the mirror can feel surreal.
The only way to deal with these unstoppable changes is to choose how we age. We can lament or rejoice, stagnate or grow, submit or prevail. If we are to feel more positive about our aging process, we need to think differently about it. Recognizing that aging is merely another aspect of living, of being human, can be liberating.
