Imitation is not always the best form of flattery

Well, today I'm still swimming in gratitude. Thank you all very much for that! However, I just got a bug -- you can decide where -- to look at a photo I admired as a teenager. I always wanted to try to emulate that picture. Now, in the selfie age I can. Trouble is, now my face is thicker and my hair is thinner. Ah, well, where is the adventure when everything is at your disposal all at the same time? Looking at life from your teenaged perspective can leave you feeling disappointed, scared, angry, grateful, and excited at the same time. Cool thing is, that we get to decide the proportion of each of those emotions. It's a good time to reevaluate and come to terms with some things. Sobering? Yeah. Still it's a great place to be! It's a great time to enjoy your power of determination as an adult. As I look at my face, I see rather deep lines, but fortunately they are all smile lines! Crows feet are beautiful ornaments to one's eyes. Age is not a terrible thing, but it does tell you how you're living your life and affirms that you are resilient. When counting up all that's right in your life, you can count that in! Excuse my little Pollyanna rant, but its great that the little brat still comes out to play! Thank you Karen Machleit for your contribution! It is greatly appreciated!

Here's a giggle for you...
