Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE Bon Jovi??

Needless to say they put on an amazing show and I was dancing in the isle like a teenager.. with my husband looking on with amusement. I have found myself a bit caught up in the fact that I am not 20 anymore. Don't get me wrong, I can't imagine going back and have to say that being a woman in my mid 30's is a great place to be. I no longer have the insecurities and doubts that I carried with me in my late teens and early 20's and life is good. I have worked hard and have achieved much.... honestly I can only see things getting better from here forward.

So on that note these lyrics just spoke to me last night. Not fitness related at all but just an opportunity to celebrate the fact that I am not OLD.. just older ;)

Just Older lyrics * Bon Jovi

Hey, man, it's been a while Do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years and miles of memories
I'm still chasing dreams
But I ain't looking over my shoulder

I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old - just older

It's good to see your face
You ain't no worse for wear Breathing that California air
When we took on the world
When we were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder

I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old - just older

I'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose

Well, I look in the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines staring back at me
Now the nights has grown a little colder
Hey man, I gotta run
Now you take care
If you see coach T. Tell him I've cut my hair
I've kept my faith
I still believe I'm just...Ha

I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old - just older
