Here's what I really think.
We'll never be younger than we are today.
Profound, aye? You may quote me.
It's ok that I've lobbed-on some poundage
as I've aged...some I can lose.
It's ok that I have wrinkles where I never expected:
did you know earlobes can wrinkle?
It's ok that I can't read as long as I used to,
or drink as much as I once drank,
or did marathon dances in school that I
wouldn't care to indulge any longer.
Some - but not all.
What I am sure of is that whomever we were back when -
is exactly who we are today. We are our perfect selves.
Yep, I may help my 'red' hair and I may be a tad rounder,
but I'm still the girl I was at 5, 25, 45 and now...
I'm good with that.
