❶ Woman Over Forty: Life Is Just Beginning

"Forty years - the woman's age" - so much folk wisdom devotes time to a woman to be a woman. Honore de Balzac, who described the suffering of aging ladies, even wrote about thirty-year-olds. What is left for women over forty? Location: Location: Perhaps, you should not trust the calendar too much if the fire is still burning in your soul and curiosity has not yet been replaced by fatigue or laziness. Children have grown up, loans have been paid off, wealth is available - it's high time to start living "for yourself", until illness and disappointment piled on.

However, do not forget that some of the conventions that are ghostly for a girl in 20 years, leave their mark on the lifestyle of a mature lady. It's ridiculous to try on the image of a candy-girl when your daughters are about to get married. But it’s not worth writing yourself up as a strict mentor, remembering that it’s time to finally grow up once and for all. This is the age of personal freedom, and if May is in your soul again, there is no need to turn it into a harsh cold winter. Because there will be no return.

Many women, having crossed the forty-year line and having enough funds, are trying by all means to return their youth, including with the help of plastic surgeries. But - alas - they don't do it very well. If we compare two photographs of one woman: at 20 years old and at 40 years old, but after a course of operations, the difference is still obvious. You can have the same delicate skin and a clear oval of the face as in early youth, but the only thing that cannot be changed is the look.

The look of a girl and the look of a mature woman - in the literal and figurative sense - only in this is the inexorable running of time manifested. Even if there is no fatigue, no fatigue, no everyday worries - life does not pass by. And her every day leaves its imprint somewhere in the soul. Instead comes the experience that was so lacking in green youth.

Experience and a variety of opportunities to apply it in practice (and their number does not decrease over the years, but only grows) - what else is needed for happiness after forty? Of course, health: the body no longer makes discounts. Good family relationships are also an important factor. And love. The love of a real Woman for real Life, which is just beginning, for all its manifestations - both joyful and sad.
