I’m not the only one shocked. My 5 yr old granddaughter saw photos of me when her dad was little. “You were pretty” ouch

Upgrade didn’t last very long………..

Don’t look in the mirror before you go to bed

Age isn’t my problem, I usually think there’s less of me, but then I look in the mirror……..:-( At least that’s something I might be able to get in sync, even though it will take a while.

She would look younger if she took those glasses off her nose.

I always think I can do what I did when I was 40 HAHAHAHA

Yep, that’s me.

Only the body and it’s many parts ages.

Every old man has a young man inside him wondering what the hell happened.

It happens….

I found a picture of me when I was 21 – full head of hair – sent it to my son and he called me and asked how I got his son to dress up like that for a picture LOL.

The feeling will last longer if you don’t look in the mirror.

I’m 33 until I look in the mirror. Or try to get up from sitting on the floor. I remember when I could do that without thinking about it first.

I no longer need to look in the mirror in the morning to be reminded that I am no longer in my twenties. Just getting by getting out of bed, my joints may painfully remind me how old I am.

I thought I had a couple more years of “boyishly cute” before “distinguished” hit me but the camera (or the mirror) doesn’t lie.

Different glasses, some gray in hair (almost all still dark brown) and about 10 lbs thinner than I was then.

I do put my hair with a clip now at the back of my head rather than wearing down.
