Purple Hats and Pink Chaddis

To all the Wonderful Women In our Family -Achievers All

Just a message - we've read this often but we need to remind ourselves ...

Age 3- She looks at herself in her purple hat, and sees a Queen.
Age 8- She looks at herself and sees Cinderella.
Age 15- She looks at herself and sees an Ugly sister
(Mom, I can't go to school looking like this!)
Age 20- She 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- She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" decides she doesn't have time to fix it, but she's going out anyway.
Age 40- She looks at herself and says "too much to do, can't get it all done, it's been a long day, and I'm going out anyway".
Age 50- She looks at herself and thinks "I am just fine" and goes wherever she wants to go.
Age 60- She looks at herself and sees wisdom and laughter, and goes out and enjoys life.
Age 70- She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Then goes out and conquers the world.
Age 80- Doesn't even bother to look. She just puts on that purple hat, goes out, and has fun with the world.

Maybe we should all grab that purple hat a little earlier.
