It is odd that some people should begin to be conscious of their bodies later on in life but then again I found out an oddity when I was 45, one leg was shorter than another. Since then I have noticed that I have become more rotund. That went hand in hand with the increase of my waistline since I began my sojourn in Italy, not that the country was the cause, my maturity and perhaps my genes were. Now I am even more conscious of my body.

 What has made me more conscious is the way I would like to appear especially on the beach on with my friends but as it stands people generally don’t care especially if you are an older person. Why? I guess it means that I am not a s desirable as I was in my twenties but then again there are people who like seeing older bodies with gray chest hairs.

  I haven’t gone the way of shaving my chest because it isn’t natural and I would be spending extra time in the shower. I never really paid as much attention as the women in the house and see no reason to spend more if I am not up to baiting anyone on being sexy or looking better than I do, except for adding new attire, occasionally and keeping clean shaved.

If beards attract the ladies, I have had my chance and maybe the goatee will return again. The important thing is to slim down and watch out for excessive snacking. Somebody said something about laughter making you less hungry. Maybe I should subscribe to that regime.
