The Ages of Women
Age 8: Looks at herself and sees Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty etc.
Age 15: Looks at herself and sees Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/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 so
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 where ever she wants to.
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 and sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and
enjoys life.
Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a red hat and goes out to
participate in the world.
Age 90: Can't see and so doesn't worry about it!
Send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends.

Soffie,
Thanks for sending this. l got a good laugh. However, it is so true. l always
tell my girls when they spend too much time infront of the mirror that l hope
one day ,they will get to the age l am and realize that there are more
important things in life. Of course they look at me as if l am out of my mind.
