While ironing the other day, I was looking at the bulletin board in my studio. It had been awhile since I had inspected it, but what caught my attention was this photo.
I got to wondering just how long I've had it.
It finally came to me that I use to have it taped to the inside door of a little cabinet in our bathroom at our old apartment in Brookline, before we ever had kids, over 20 years ago.
It was a funky old place with high ceilings, where we lived for almost 10 years.
Suddenly, while ironing, I remembered I took pictures of the apartment before we moved away in 1992 and ran to the photo albums to see if I had a picture of the bathroom.
There was the photo :-)
I loved the picture of the wrinkly old women back then
and still do.
Little did I know, so long ago, that I would someday be blogging about embracing aging and allowing our faces to line naturally.
Little did I know, back then, that there would even be a world wide web, or blogging for that matter!
But what I did know, even then,
was that there is such beauty in older faces.
Such incredible beauty.
How lucky are we all are,
to gradually become,
such masterpieces.
