Put On The Purple Hat

A woman looks in the mirror at various stages of her life.

Age 3: Looks at herself and sees a queen!

Age 8: Smiles at Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/Belle.

Age 14: If it's one of those PMS days, she sees fat/pimples and screams, "Mom, I can't go to school looking like this!"

Age 20: Sees herself as "too fat/thin, too short/tall, hair too straight/curly" - but goes out anyway.

Age 30: Sees herself as "too fat/thin, too short/tall, hair too straight/curly" - decides she doesn't have time to fix anything, so she's going anyway.

Age 40: Sees herself as "too fat/thin, too short/tall, hair too straight/curly" - says "At least I'm clean" and goes anyway.

Age 50: Looks at herself, sees "I am", and goes wherever she wishes.

Age 60: Reminds herself of all the people who cannot even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.

Age 70: Sees wisdom, laughter and ability; goes out and enjoys life.

Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just put on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world.
