I noticed me in a mirror yesterday and thought “That’s not what I think of when I envision my own body. I know I have thinner lips, wrinkles, crepey skin and grey hair. But, that isn’t the body my mind thinks of me wearing.” I think the body I expect was 44 years old.

My grandmother once told me she was always surprised by the old woman she kept seeing in the mirror. Her warning may have kept me from being as surprised by this as I might have been.
