Old Age Isnt For Sissies

It must have been more than 25 years ago when I first saw that bumper sticker. "Cute," I chuckled to myself, "What will they think of next?" (How about "Whirled Peas"?).Now in my fifties, I'm learning first hand what they're talking about. From the frumpy grey-haired stranger that looks back at me from the bathroom mirror every day to the closet full of too-small clothes that I really should donate to the local mission. And I'm beginning to understand my grandmother's affinity to Ben Gay.In fact, it's the aching joints that bother me the most.

After all, I don't have to look in the mirror, and I'm quite comfortable wearing my sweats most of the time. But denial can only take a gal so far. When I'm lying in bed with an aching shoulder, it's not denial that helps me fall asleep.

It's my herbal heat wrap, with a little help from the microwave oven.I discovered this delightful remedy at a local tourist attraction, complete with free entertainment, numerous food vendors, and lots of "mom and pop" product booths. As I walked through the small vintage firehouse, the smell of lavender was inviting, so I took a closer look.20 minutes later, and about $60.00 lighter, I walked away with my only inedible purchase of the day. I had this lizard shaped thingee around my neck, and a more versatile rectangular wrap in the bag.

Having had my heat wraps for several weeks now, I can wholeheartedly recommend them. Of course, I recommend Heat Treats herbal wraps because that's what I have and I know they work. These heat wraps are filled with a combination of flax seed and lavender. The flax seed releases a moist heat, while the lavender helps me relax.While there's nothing I can do to prevent getting older, at least I can put off feeling older for a while longer.Now if only I could solve my "secretary spread" as easily.
