Anisette Studio

A day for just hanging out. I like that sort of day. This photo was on such a day in 2023 before we moved here to Muddy Brook. I hadn’t bothered with makeup. I don’t always wear makeup. I surprise some people when I do. LOL …. I wear it lightly. I figure I am jamming stuff into pours to add foundation. So rarely do I put that one. Instead, I think about what the skin needs. Never use soap on my face. I however have the thinning eyebrow issue. So, end up adding the ends of eyebrows.

Thomas said that where women begin to lose hair, such as eyebrows and not having to shave legs and arm pits anymore…. the problem men have is that the hair thins on top of the head and decides to grow out the nose and ears. I am glad not to have to shave legs now… but I am glad it is not coming out of my ears and nose. Such changes happen after 45 it seems.

The thing about getting to 45 is, that you know you don’t know everything, that there is a lot more to know. The world is much bigger and so are you mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You reach a point where things feel better, and you begin to think of what you can do differently.

However, things change in other ways around this time. Like Thomas dying, divorces. Kids leave home and head off into the world. The feeling is way too often that you have been in a limbo land of waiting. And not doing things.

I thought about things. I began some self-examinations. I had not admitted to myself I procrastinated a lot of time away. Now, I want to just do “it”! No more waiting. I am older, though I do not see myself as old. I like the phrase “you’re as young as you feel!” I am where my folks and where others have been. I don’t want to waste my time thinking about aging.

When I am done this body, may have another one somewhere. May I be wiser and use my time in better ways!

I think, learning to be a better artist and writer is good for me. I can just do this now! Things will improve. I will change and make life interesting!

Best wishes, Pejj
