My Silver Lining

I'm wearing bracelets! This is a BIG deal for me. I don’t think I’ve worn a bracelet since my first and last(?) broke when I was a teenager. I hadn’t worn any jewelry continuously since my 2nd wedding band wouldn’t fit after my pregnancy. I’m wearing these all the time because it takes a long time to do all those clasps! The earrings and necklace I wear are sterling silver, and the rings and now bracelets are stainless steel. A light bulb moment occurred the other night. πŸ’‘ When NONE of the bracelets out there fit, try anklets! I have endlessly been embarrassed by my robustness. I have huge, strong bones. I’ve always felt masculine in that regard. As a senior woman now, though, I am still strong when so many are sadly not; my bone density is great, and I am finally happy with my big bones. And now I have pretty silvery “bracelets” to admire!
