BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Age 3: Looks at herself and sees a Queen!

Age 8: Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping
Beauty.

Age 15: Looks at herself and sees herself as 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
am clean and goes anyway.

Age 50: Looks at herself and sees I am, and goes wherever she
wants to go.

Age 60: Looks at herself and reminds herself of all the
people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore.
She goes out and conquers the world.

Age 70: Looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability,
goes out and enjoys life.

Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and
goes out to have fun with the world.

Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier.
