I was blessed to have a grandmother full of spunk, style &amp; grace. She loved champagne and ever-so-slightly dirty jokes -- both of which we enjoyed together before she passed during a late afternoon nap.

I am sometimes chided by my husband, and one particular gal pal, for not being shy about telling my age or sometimes sarcastically referring to myself as "old". What they fail to understand is I am proud of my age, both chronological &amp; spiritual.

I totally agree -- it's not about trying to look younger than you are, it's about taking care of yourself so you look your best possible self, even when sporting workout togs &amp; a day old do.
