What happens when a woman looks at herself in the mirror? Well, the reaction is different at different stages of life. Here's something that an old friend sent me recently. Have a lovely Sunday! I am going to hike up Penang Hill (to the halfway mark only) with my husband and cousin. If you do not hear from me again, it means I did not survive haha...Just kidding. Next post will be up later at about 8p.m.


* Age 3: Looks at herself and sees a Queen!

* Age 8: Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty.

* Age 15: Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/SleepingBeauty/Cheerleader or if she is PMS'ing: sees Fat/Pimples/UGLY ("Mom I can't go to school looking like this!")

* Age 20: Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but decides she's going anyway.

* Age 30: Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it, she's going anyway.

* Age 40: Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but says, "At least, I'm clean" and goes anyway.

* Age 50: Looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go.

* Age 60: Looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.

* Age 70: Looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life.

* Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world.

Maybe we should all grab that purple hat a little earlier!
