This is me.....

.

I came across this picture recently.. and thought

yes... This is me.. what I feel inside... I know

I blogged years ago.. how I always felt younger

than what I am. 

Because of good gene's, I have been able to be

young as I got older.. don't get me wrong.. as I

have said in the past.. I am what I am.. I am a

73 year old woman, who is knocking on the door

or 74, in 3 months.  And the old woman in the mirror

each morning... I know is me..

I don't dye my hair.. it is what it is.. the wrinkles

show life well worn. And most of them are laugh

wrinkles.

It is just I have felt younger than my age for some

time.  I felt like I was 28 when I was actually in

my 40's and 50's.. and then later, after 60, I changed

it to 48.

Don't know what the 8's have to do with it.

I am very blessed to be as agile as I am. Again, good

gene's. My father's side. He died at 82 after doing a

summer of haying. My aunt, his sister, passed at 88.

Still dancing to music, and life itself.. So it goes

with the life of the family.   So here I am.. as you

can see at 48... and that is where my mind set is..

except my mind fails me from time to time. And

some mornings it is like 98..

SO  this picture represents me... it the me I see,and feel,

when mirrors are not around..

And as you can see those laugh lines are earned..

Leaving you laughing..
