Testing...testing

So why not start a blogging about aging as a woman in this society with someone who is aging gracefully indeed?



Dame Shirley Bassey. Not only does she have one of the most amazing voices in the recording industry, she's 71 and just released an album of rock songs. From what I've heard on NPR, it's a requirement for my CD collection.

Oh, and gorgeous? Yes. Definitely one to add to my collection of positive examples of aging.

To my mind, part of aging gracefully is accepting that I'm not going to look like I did 10 or 20 years ago (I'm 48, by the way)... but with that acceptance comes a desire to like what I see in the mirror...

I just need to remind myself that I'm not going to look like Shirley Bassey at age 71.

I think it's good to aspire to that level of energy though. I think her energy gives her just as much beauty as her genetics and money does.

I'm most impressed that her voice is still fabulous. Maybe singing ability doesn't have to vanish with age after all.
