wow… for some reason, when i read this, i can just feel the dragging of the first verse, but the second, it changes compleatly and you can just feel the playful pouncing of the words. Very cleverly done!

Inside your head your still young …....... lines appear thenyour hair goes grey ….......... but do you know what today is? Today is a fresh outlook to a new start ….... no lines no baggy skin just the same old you still beautiful and ripe with age … but maybe not so thin! – David :>))
RebeccaWeston replied
lol – oh yes, definitely but it’s amazing how some days, for no reason, you can feel young and beautiful And then others are just…pants !!! lol X

very witty, and yet, sadly many people could relate. It is not only women who suffer from insecurities about their bodies or weight.
RebeccaWeston replied
You’re so right and apart from the ‘pink’ this could apply to both sexes. The power of positive thinking can help change the way your energy looks on the outside, as well as the way it feels on the inside. Giving you confidence which has big knock-on effects. Thanks Jono XX
RebeccaWeston
I’ve changed the description now to suit both sexes, thanks Jono XX
