Today I look in the mirror and I see a woman who has taken a leap. The sleepiness in her eyes is hidden behind a wide smile that says, Hell Yeah!  She has a few wrinkles around her eyes from laughing all the time. Laughing is a good thing. I see small signs of aging here and there. Kind friends and family will deny that they’re even there.  We know better, right mirror?

But that’s ok. Small wrinkles, slightly saggy neckline… they’re all signs of aging and wisdom.  It’s not the “know it all” kind of wisdom, but more the “been there, done that” sort.  The wisdom that comes from making mistakes and still having the strength to dust myself off and try again.  The wisdom that says, “This time try to plan things out better.”

Yes, the woman in the mirror is a bit wise, a bit silly and just a little smart. Glad to know you’ve got my back.

Mirror, mirror on the wall… find the nearest mirror. Look. Keep looking for 3 minutes. Write about what you see.
