Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck), you'll probably relate.

Midlife is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down.

This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.

In Midlife women no longer have upper arms, we have wingspans.

We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts; we are flying squirrels in drag.

Midlife is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around.

Midlife is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.

Midlife is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream, "Listen honey, even the Roman empire fell and those will too."

Midlife is when you look at your know-it-all, beeper-wearing teenager and think: "For this I have stretch marks?"

Midlife brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're sitting on our biggest ones.

In Midlife the memory starts to go. 
In fact the only thing most of us can retain is water. 

Midlife means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally -- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin.

Midlife means that you become more reflective.... 
You start pondering the "big" questions:
What is life?
Why am I here? 
How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice? 

But Midlife also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. 

We realize that breasts sag, hips expand, and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile.

Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now for the body you had way back when?

Maybe our bodies simply have to expand 
to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired.

That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!

REMEMBER: "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts." Rumor has it that if you send this to four women, you will lose two pounds. Send this to all the women you know (or ever knew), and you will lose 10 pounds. If you go to another Web page without telling anyone about it, you will gain 10 pounds immediately. That's why I had to pass this on: I didn't want to risk it! :)
