I’ve always loved the feeling I have at the beach. It’s the one place I feel comfortable in a swimsuit no matter my body size or shape. Age just comes along for the ride.

AGING IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. HOW YOU HANDLE IT, THOUGH, IS IN YOUR HANDS.

This is me at 58 and feeling fab! Age is just a number and exercise is the key to a healthy mind and body.

Girls Trip 2023. Probably our 15th or 20th since we graduated college in 1974. Back then this ‘I never burn’ Armenian wore no sunscreen, a bikini but with the tiniest of cut off jeans to cover the upper thighs -my lifelong body nemesis. A scratchy Army blanket to lie my ache-free body on and a styrofoam cooler full of Tab. That night I’d slather myself with Bonne Bell moisturizer to highlight my sun-bronzed face, lots of Maybelline mascara and multiple swipes of frosted lipstick. Now it’s SPF 50, a book on Audible, earbuds and sunglasses ( removed for this picture). And of course the hat to cover the hair which, like everything else BA50, tends to dry out.

I just turned 60 and I am more comfortable in my skin now than I ever have been. Thank you for this challenge!
