Life Lesson #15,052-Ya Can't Have "It" Forever

It's true.  No matter how much Botox, filler, plastic surgery, lifting this or tucking that, you cannot have "It" forever.  What is "It"?  I don't know.  I just know that I no longer have it.  I am not sure when I lost it but it is gone.  I used to drive down the road and men in work trucks used to blow the horn and whistle and say rude and crude things to me.  I would flip them the bird and drive away.  I used to walk past construction workers and they would just about fall off the roof checking me out.  I used to get so offended.  I used to curse them!!  Now??  Nobody has accosted me in ages. Nobody has whistled at me.  Nobody has almost wrecked their work truck checking me out.  Nobody has shouted obscene comments at me lately and I am upset about it.  What the heck?  I have lost it!!



What did I lose?  I thought if you had "it" you would always have it.  Apparently, I was wrong.  Just because I have a few extra pounds and a few more gray hairs (which I color every 5 weeks) and a few more wrinkles and age spots, who cares??  Shoot me a whistle once in a while.  I will probably roll my eyes and act all offended but in reality, I will be saying "YES" in my mind!! 



If you are a construction worker, a garbage collector, a road worker or even a prisoner picking up trash on the side of the road, for Pete's sake, holler at us older women!!  We still feel like we got it.  We may be living in denial but throw us a bone!!  Offend us!! Yell "Hey Baby" at us.  Give us a whistle!!  A little "Woooooo" would be good too.  Throw in a "Let me get your digits" and we will be so happy.  Please do it when we are coming out of exercise classes so that we have on our spandex!!  Don't forget that we have to act like we hate it but just know that you are doing a good deed!!
