    Adding to the list of Great 40+ women:

    Condoleeza Rice, National Security Advisor

    She is one smart cookie!

    Proves the saying that with maturity brings wisdom!

    I am also part of the 40+ class. And, I must say, I have never felt better inside and out about ME!

    Oh yea, another 40+ smart and successful woman, Oprah Winfrey!

    Mrs. Shakita(wish I had the smarts of a 40+ year old with a 20 year old body, though)

    Amen, Sister. A bunch of us girls sat around in a teahouse late one night, and Sally asked us if we wanted to be 20 again. For Get It. At 20 I had no idea who I was, what I was about, and what I wanted to become. Then I spent a lot of years giving to my little family. At 40, I am for me. It is a wonderful time.

    Beauty Tips

    For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

    For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

    For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

    For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

    For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone

    People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;

    Never throw out anybody.

    Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

    As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,

    The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

    he beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,

    Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

    The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,

    But true beauty in a woman

    is reflected in her soul.

    It is the caring that she lovingly gives,

    the passion that she shows,

    And the beauty of a woman with passing

    years-only grows!

    That is so true, ladies. I feel so much better about myself the older I get. And the bonus is that I really feel , take me or leave me,,,, this is me..... that is a good feeling.

    I never thought I would grow old in "this system", but see that that is happening , but there is so much life to live , I am not complaining. Just darn glad to still be here and to be happy, in my 20's and even until I hit the 30's I wasnt very happy, but that might have been JWits.
