 We have all probably heard someone remark, “She must have been a real beauty when she was younger” or “I bet he use to be a good looking man, back then.”
Our societal attitudes regarding physical beauty tend to inform the way we regard aging and the accompanying “loss of beauty.” For most boomers and beyond, we no longer have skin that is taut and smooth, hair full and shining, a flat belly or a thin waistline. Gone are those days.

I like that word, resilient, the way it rolls off my tongue. Although resiliency is not a word commonly used, the definition is closely related to the more familiar yoga-like principles of staying flexible and pliable and bending deeply. This topic of resiliency is, in fact, becoming more popular. Just recently it has been explored with some depth in a series of published articles in The New York Times, looking at how do we build the resilience necessary to weather setbacks and navigate life’s volatility. |
