Under the Advice of Middle-Aged Women

I have been living well for a number of years.  I attribute that to the advice of middle-aged women.  When I say "Middle Aged" I do not necessarily  mean women in their 50's .  I mean women who I have known that were at least 15 years older than me.   When you are a young woman, it is important to befriend these women.

Most of the time, they are co-workers.  They know very little about your personal life at first, but after a few short months, they know almost all of your deepest darkest secrets.  They give you advice on those "mysterious" topics.  Things like using a self tanner correctly, how to scoop your boobs up in your bra for great cleavage, running a household, sex and of course how to get through an emotional nightmare. 

When I was surviving my worst break-up, one of these women said to me, "Living well is the best revenge."  It was the first time I had ever heard such a thing and I believed it immediately.  So far, it has helped me through several tough situations.

There are so many pieces of advice like this that it would be impossible to get into the details of it here.  I hope that I can be someone else's "Middle-Aged woman" someday.
