Sisterly Love
This photo of two redheaded sisters was taken about 38 years ago. The camera did a great job of capturing our youth, giggles and joy.
Lately, I've been feeling old....er. I seem to age over night. I'm bouncing along, living my life, and then one morning I look in the mirror and see someone I do not recognize. Then, I realize that an older version of me has arrived.
Nothing is going to stop the aging process and I'm not sure I'd want to stop it if I could. All the phases of life are precious. Even so, I know the present is really where it's happening now. No need to spend too much time and energy worrying about getting and looking old, (aka future.) No matter what I look like on the outside, I know that the little girl in the photo will always exist in my heart!
Happy Sacred Sunday everyone!
Blessings,
Beverly
PS: Thanks for sending this photo Mom!
What a sweet pic! I will always love and look up to my big sister! Thank you for always looking out for me and being a great example!
I love you so much! Becky

I so get where you're coming from - on my 45 birthday I looked in the mirror and saw the older me for the first time. Being young at heart is SO where it's at!

Honestly, Beverly, it's as if everytime I come over here you have read my mind....Ever since turning 40 I am constantly thinking of my age in a midlife crisis sort of a way.....I love the picture....so cute!
