A look in the mirror . .

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 Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/ Cheerleader; or if she is PMS'ing: sees at/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 out 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 out 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'm clean" and goes out 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. Goes out and conquers the world.

Age 70: Looks at herself and 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.
