"I look in the mirror with the eyes of a child who was me." -Judy Collins
Those words really resonated with me as I had just spent last night going to middle school orientation for Zach and Todd went to high school orientation for Zach. It is so strange to think I have kids that are growing up so quickly, although it seems like I was just at their ages. I remember childhood so completely that it's hard to imagine I am a 42 year old suburban mom with ever increasing "smile lines" or as Zach called them this morning ("crows nest"...think he meant crows feet but I will always think of it as "crows nest" now :) ). I feel so young and "cool" still however, the other night, Chris and Zach were talking about how "old" I was and that I did look like I was 42. I guess I was shocked because I don't see that when I look in the mirror. Well, maybe I do when I REALLY look in the mirror, but I try not to do that too often. I love where I am right now...my life, the blessings I've been given, the opportunities I have now and what I have to look forward to in the future in regards to my family and myself. Regardless, I still believe I'm that "little girl" and I'm going to keep feeling that way.
