Children's Lotion with Collagen

30 something and you begin to look for the skin products with collagen. Kids have large quantities of the stuff in their skin i think. How else do you explain their flawless, supple, taut skin? Its beautiful by no effort of their own. I guess God is fair in that they are preoccupied at learning, loving, trusting life that wrinkles should be the last of their worries. Maybe the fine laugh lines, now not so fine keep our vanity in check. We have the wisdom, experience, life seems to be going just fine, then the muscles and things that worked so fine, now don't. Our mortality subtly reflected. A white hair laughed of as having the salt and pepper look. There was a nervous ring to that laugh.
Some choose to go under the surgeons knife, others, punishing diet programs. Some buy their kids lotion with collagen. Choices,perspectives,options, vision.
Sitting on a bench in Central Park yesterday provided a birds eye view of 'it'. The big picture. Choices, perspectives, options, vision. Keeping the big picture in mind, at what cost will we keep the dream alive? How far will we be willing to compromise, or maybe go the extra mile to see it happen? Will we make day to day decisions based on day to day needs or with the big picture in mind?
Driving into the city from up or down country(perspective), one is almost assaulted by the aroma of frying chips. Moi avenue must have the most number of chips shops on one street in the world. And they are delicious! Certain cake shops hold my favourite cake and princess doughnuts she happily scoffs by the mouthful. We hope the toothpaste and 5 extra metre walk will cover that indulgence.
Many irreparable hearts from infidelity in marriage. Broken promises from us. Unfulfilled obligations. eventually, Medical complications. Careers in gutters. Destroyed,shattered dreams.
The inevitable happens for sure. Death, heartache, but are we pushing towards our, others destruction by our choices, our actions or are we ahead of the time 4 our dreams, our visions simply by our choices?

Our perspectives and choices go together, don't they? Do we choose based on what and how we perceive or do we perceive than choose? inter-connectivity, right there!
