Aging is fun and interesting, and full of new adventures, if we decide to look at it in a positive way!

We can learn so much about ourselves by learning our parents' and grandparents' stories... but this wisdom doesn't come in early age usually, maybe there is a reason for that too. And yes, my life is very different from both Mom's and Grandma's. I think we all take something from the previous generation and bring it to a new level, so our children can take it from there and bring it to another new level.<br />Lots of love, my dear!

I hate the phrase that age is just a number because it makes it sound like aging is a negative thing. I feel that age represents more milestones and accomplishments. Wisdom and experience help shape us and make us into more focused people, and I agree that aging is a good thing.<br /> What an incredible story about your mother. She must of had a completely different life than you did. So much responsibility for young woman. Anyway I hope that you are enjoying a lovely weekend and I have must say I love your gingham checked skirt. <br /> I am glad you are feeling bold and confident. That is how you look. Bold, confident and beautiful .<br /> Happy 45th !!!!<br />❤️❤️❤️<br />Elle <br />https://theellediaries.com/The Elle Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352057220124245797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-61596748794874532312018-05-22T09:36:02.116-07:002018-05-22T09:36:02.116-07:00Happy 45 birthday!

Not everyone gets the chance to age and to grow old, so it is something we should have in mind. Especially when we are surrounded by people we love, aging can really feel like a blessing. Happy 10th anniversary as well! My husband and I will celebrate our six wedding anniversary this summer and we have been together for almost a decade now too..funny how the time flies.<br /><br />I love your outfit! You look so pretty. Your daughter's words are very wise, I'm sure she gets that wisdom from you, and from what I see, your mother is a very inspiring woman as well so that might be in part where you get it from. Family is such a precious thing. I'm sure your grandmother was a strong woman woman as well. Thank you for sharing a part of your family history. I will need to check the site dedicated to your mother's writing soon. <br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><br />Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-38737259591567248342018-05-22T08:27:30.501-07:002018-05-22T08:27:30.501-07:00Oh, your mom took really responsibility!

You've c...Oh my, your birthday AND anniversary! You've certainly had enough reasons to celebrate! I'm loving your bold birthday outfit, which I agree has oodles of attitude. The black and white gingham skirt is particularly stunning. I too am one of those people who doesn't mind aging at all. As long as you're healthy in body and mind, every age has its charms and advantages, which far outweigh any disadvantages. I remember my maternal grandmother as an old lady who walked on crutches. She died when I was 14, and when I look at certain photos of her, I'm often wondering at the fact that I am actually older now than she was in them. But of course times were different then. Looking forward to your Washington DC adventures!

But I'm happy to read your comments here! <br />I think a part of this photo's enigma is definitely fashion itself - they weren't exposed to the outside world much, so they just made clothes the way their parents made them in the first half of the century. And another part is the technical (photo) equipment they had access to in a far away Siberian village. I'm pretty sure the photographer was just there for a day to take the villagers' pictures.Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.com
