Dare I Write about THIS?

I recently spotted a post by Mindy Kaling, showing her bikini body.

I don't know about you, but I think she looks great.  In her post, she encouraged everyone who wanted to wear a bikini to wear one.

If you know me, you'll know how rare it is that I might be influenced by a celebrity.  But her message makes sense.  If I wait to have a perfect body, I'll never wear a bikini.  Admittedly, this isn't a major bucket list destination or the cure for cancer, but I always thought it would be fun to wear a bikini.  They're so colorful and heck, my stomach could use some sun.

So I bought one. (On sale, admittedly). And I mustered up the courage to wear it last week.

The Earth didn't collide with the sun. Life went on.

Okay, so I wore it at a private pool and only my husband and oldest were there.  But I wore it.  I figure that's a good milestone for a 50+ year old woman.   

Maybe next year I'll have the body confidence to wear it in public public.  No promises.

The blue bottom and the multicolored top bikini combo.  Please don't try to guess my size...
