I find that as I get older, certain things that irked me, no longer get under my skin. I can't think of an exact example at this moment but I will soon. That's another thing, I find I'm getting forgetful. Sigh. That's one thing with aging, the body betrays you. Is that a knee pain for the umpteenth time? Man. And why is my hair thinning out? You think your body will stand the test of time, but like a car that gets old, the body needs maintenance and updating. My poor little 2003 Rav 4 is having a hard time at it.
And why at 39, do I have fine gray hairs sticking out. Geez. I didn't think that was possible. Time to whip out some dye. Blonde anyone? The ironic thing is, as I get more comfortable in my skin, it's getting older, and is holding up less and less. I'm only going to be 40. I wonder how older women in their 60s to 80s make out?
About Me
- MPEvans
- Washington, DC, United States
- I'm a naturalized Caribbean immigrant in the grand old U.S.A. I live in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Ward 7 and I'm a forever-journalist. I started my first career as a magazine editor and I haven't been able to give it up. When I started this blog, I was knee-deep into my fourth career as a government public relations specialist. However, I have been heading up my editorial staffing company, Invisible Colours LLC out of my Ward 7 neighborhood. I'm expanding my company's brand by offering video production and other social media technologies for clients. This blog follows my journey as a 40-something-year old in Washington, D.C. Married for several years, I have three kids--a boy and two girls. I am blessed, and I'm loving all that God has given me. I have a master's in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's of arts from the University of the West Indies. I hope I can offer a little insight into my life and my experiences. Writing serves as a catharsis for me. It is what I do best. It is what I love. It is who I am.
