Ageless beauty

Went to the dentist today. Yep, am systematically giving the old body a thorough overhaul. Met a beautiful lady on her way out of the clinic with the help of her daughter and a helper. I was awestruck by her beauty. She must be at least 80 years of age. Dressed in an elegant cheongsum and with her greyed hair coiffured fashionably into a bun, she was a picture of ageless beauty. I smiled at her, and she returned one spontaneously. She needed to walk with assistance, but her expression told that she is so at peace with herself. Wrinkles could not hide the radiance that emanated from her face and body language. True, she looked like she comes from a well-to-do background, but I'm sure money plays only one part. How I wish I would be like her if I were to live to that age!
