Janel aka jgelien on Squidoo gives us her 'take' on aging in her very funny story titled: The Art of Aging Ungracefully. She begins by 'indulging in fine whine' about the young thin, attractive girl that she once was ...
From curves in the wrong places to wrinkles disguised as 'laugh lines', Janel brings us smiles and makes us laugh because there's not much else to do. She includes two funny YouTube videos (a song parady by Anita Renfroe and an 'aging' commedianne [Mrs. Hughes] who describes her 'hot flashes as so bad she thought she was responsible for global warming!'). The lens also includes a collection of amusing cartoon graphics that highlight Janel's descriptions of 'aging ungracefully'.
Janel ends with thanking us for stopping by, then says "Remind me, who are you again?"
But I guess when all is said and done, as we 'grow older' we should remember these words by Mark Twain "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

Pat, this lens is very funny. I love the term, Chronic Body Betrayal, and can relate to so many things on the page. Thanks for reviewing it.
ReplyDeleteActually I think I am aging ungracefully! Sounds like a good place to find a laugh and not feel so alone.. right? Thanks Pat.
ReplyDeleteI loved this lens! So worthy of a review. Humor is a wonderful way to deal with what life throws at us -- accept it and move along. Thanks for bringing a bit of laughter to us Pat!
ReplyDeleteI remembered this lens, and yes it is very funny. I think your Title is perfect as if we didn't laugh we might cry :) Good choice of lenses especially when I look in the mirror ;)
