Day 47: Were?

1999

        So I had some girls over the other day for a meeting.  One of the girls had never been to my home and we have only been acquainted for 1 year.  She was looking around at some pictures and came across one of my wedding.  She held up the frame and very seriously said, "you WERE so young and pretty!"  I said thank you but couldn't get the comment out of my mind.  She then went on to make a comment about how we are all aging.  A very real idea.  Of course we are all aging but when WERE we young or beautiful?  Does that just vanish because we are older, more wrinkled, spotted, scarred???  I guess I still think of myself as young and pretty.  I guess I feel this way because I love my life and feel very happy about where I am at 39 but I guess it is all in the mind set.  I hope you all can still live like you ARE young and pretty and not live like you "WERE".
