Share a photo that represents how you see yourself.
That's my wedding picture with my grandpa. And that IS how I see myself.
In a wedding dress. Just kidding.
Young. CHECK.
Skinny. CHECK.
Blond. CHECK.
Happy. CHECK.
Sweaty. CHECK.
Young. Not so much anymore. I have wrinkles. And I'm not aging gracefully. I want work done. I'll settle for microdermabrasion.
Skinny. Not so much.
Blond. Nope. Totally brown, with some grey. Which I like. But not as much as blond.
Happy. Okay, still very, very happy.
Sweaty. Oh wait. I was only sweaty because it was July 10 and hot as...well hot. I'm sweaty now because I'm fat. It's Fall and I am still sweating.
So I see myself as that awesome 30 year old. But really, I'm an old, fat 36 year old. But I'm happy. Happier, even.
Yes, happier.

I look back at my wedding pictures and wonder where that skinny 25 year old went, then I look at the pictures of my boys an go--Oh yeah that where she went.
I think growing older is a beautiful thing - it's a natural part of life. I guess getting old is what we make of it. Embrace it I say, 'cause there's nothing we can do about it...LOL.
I love that you were so candid. ;)
