Growing Wild


Today's post comes via a picture prompt with the phrase "Growing Wild"  from the GBE2 group.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Some people 
                                        grow up.......
                                                                        .......others grow old...
                                                                                                                     ...I want to grow wild!
 

I have a basic direction

UP
and a general idea of what I need
and loads of wild things to try. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, before you get the wrong idea, I am not talking about "wild" as in rebellious craziness
I mean wild as in not contained, 
not tamed...
or declawed.

I do not want to be one who "apologizes for taking up space" 
No way.

Growing wilder and wilder 
with each passing birthday... 

(everyone knows Wonder Woman, but in case you are unsure of who Betsey Johnson is...)
she is a crazy, wild, fabulous designer. 
Here she is on her 69th birthday at the launch of her new perfume, Too Too

This isn't my version of wild....close, but not quite, I never could manage the splits...
besides, I would hope each woman would be her very own, very fabulous self

Grow Wild 
along with me
the best is yet to be 

CHEERS!!!
