The Purple Hat


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.
