The open face

As I grow older I embrace myself more than I used to when I was younger. I understand that a face with a countenance rich in kindness will have an undiminished beauty for all the years to come. Lately I rarely wear make up and bare skin is my chosen ornament. My glasses are my best friends and even though I wear lenses once in a while I'm always relieved when I take them off. As any woman sometimes I'm harsh on the condition of my skin, the wrinkles around my eyes but now I forgive myself more easily. Soon I will complete 39 years and the fortieth year of my life will begin. I look forward to caring less about the surface, more about my inner world and promise to read more books :)
