When I was in my younger days,  I weighed a few pounds less,
I needn't hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older, I've set my body free; There's comfort of 

elastic Where once my waist would be. Inventor of high-heeled shoes
My feet have not forgiven; I used to wear a six, Now I wear a seven. And how about those blasted tights... They're sized by weight, you see, 

So how come when I put them on  The crotch is at my knee? 
I need to wear these glasses As the print's been getting smaller;
And it wasn't very long ago  I know that I was taller. 

Though my hair has turned to grey and my skin no longer fits, 

On the inside, I'm the same old me, the outside's changed a bit. 
But, on a positive note... I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle these 

three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.  I've 

learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them

when they're gone from your life. 
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same as making a 'life.' I've learned 

that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life just being a doormat. You need to throw something back. I've learned 

that to decide something with an open heart, you usually make the right decision.  

I've learned that when I have pain, I don't have to be one. 
I've learned that you should reach out and touch someone. People love a hug, 

or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, 

but people will never forget how you made them feel. 

Please pass this on to five wonderful women today. If you do, you may boost 

another woman's self-esteem.   If you do not ... the elastic will break and your 

knickers will fall down around your ankles......

Cheers, Kate xxx.
