DON’T CHANGE HOW YOU LOOK, CHANGE HOW YOU SEE…

I DON’T HAVE CROW’S FEET

I have happy happy memories of laughing with friends until the tears flowed.

I DON’T HAVE FROWN LINES

I have the marks of my frustration and confusion – of which I battled through – smiling in the end.

I AM NOT ‘GOING GREY’

I have shimmering highlights of wisdom, dashed throughout my hair.

I DON’T HAVE SCARS

I have symbols of the strength I was able to find, when life got tough.

I DON’T HAVE STRETCH MARKS

I have the marks of growth and the marks of motherhood. My tiger stripes of love.

I AM NOT FAT

I have the evidence of a life filled with abundance, blessings and good times.

I AM NOT SIMPLY FORGETFUL

I have a mind so full of stories, memories and moments there is scarce room to hold much else.

I AM NOT OLD

I am blessed – with a life of great length – something not everyone can say.

DON’T CHANGE HOW YOU LOOK, CHANGE HOW YOU SEE
