Happy Gorgeous Grandma Day!
I didn't know if 1-2-3-Cards made this up or not, but apparently today is Gorgeous Grandma Day. When this fact was brought to my attention by some clever e-mail marketing, I considered the idea and decided, heck, why not? Growing up with Barbie as a model, I have twisted, starved, cinched, and creamed, my whole life in an attempt to be gorgeous, so if somebody wants to invent a day to call me that just because I'm a grandma...what's not to like? My curiousity spiked, I researched this dubious holiday, however, and found out that Gorgeous Grandma Day was not as simplistic or superficial as it seemed at first glance. Actually, the designation was started by a woman over 50 who defined a "Gorgeous Grandma" more or less, in this way: A "Gorgeous Grandma" is every woman over 50 who believes she has her whole life ahead of her, not her whole life behind her. She wants to get the most out of every day of her life, in order to thrive, not just survive. She cares for her mind and her body, and remains adaptable to life’s bittersweet as well as sweet. A "Gorgeous Grandma" cherishes herself as much as she cherishes her loved ones. She refuses to remain static and is always open to learning, to new ideas, to new challenges, and to new experiences. In short, she loves life - and lets everyone know it!
I know women like that and I aspire to walk in their footsteps. And so, to all the "gorgeous grandmas" who read my blog, here's my greeting to you. And for those of my readers who are not grandmas, I'll bet you know someone who deserves being sent this card today!
