It's funny how I can apply something to other people, but not myself. Today at my second job I was talking to one of the woman in the building. We were just chatting about the coming weekend. I said I wouldn't be around for the weekend since I was going to NY to see my son. She looked at me and said you're too young to have kids. So I asked how old did she think I was? She said 16 cause she didn't know. It was funny to see her world stop when I told her I was 39. She looked at me and said I'm 39. LOL. Then she asked me if I do a lot of clean living which I replied yes. She admitted she hadn't which I knew. Smoking and drinking had taken it's toll on her skin.
I know most of my young looks are genetic from my Mom, but I never take into account all the clean living I do. I talk to my patients about it, but I never give myself the credit for it.

You don't give yourself enough credit for anything, lol now you sound like a wonderful guy. Hmm good living, yikes in my younger days I was a wild woman.
I don't think most people realize how hard smoking and drinking are. Both of those vices really age a person not to mention destroy their health.
So give yourself credit for living clean.
I do!

I think genetics definitely play a role here. Didn't smoke, drink a bit, but I always looked older than my age. Son,(adopted), will be carded til he's 40.
enjoy time with son
betty

"Oh, you don't look a day over 20" HA!!! LOL

Age is a number, it is really how you feel and how you ACT. People usually flip when I tell them my age as well AND that I have 3 kids. Kind of on that note, I am baffled at how some people just let themselves go. I am not talking that they just get fat, I mean, they turn 30, buy a minivan, chop off their hair, no make up, no cute outfits...they just convert into this supposed "MOM BEING" that somewhat resembles a feminine creature. That doesn't work for me. It is there that I believe a woman somewhat dooms herself into not aging gracefully. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL YOU LOSE YOURSELF!!! (I went off the subjuect a bit right??) Kudos on looking great! GO to the nearest mirror and KISS yourself!
