This is me at 10. I was hoping to "blossom". You know how everyone says: "Don't worry, one day you'll blossom".
Hi ho. Hi ho. Off to the DMV I go. Or went. I had to renew the driver's license and, because it has been ten years since I've done so, I had to have a new picture taken. If you want to feel real old, have the DMV take your picture and laminate it to a card that you have to show everyone who asks for ID.
My mama says that I just have to adjust to what my older self looks like and stop looking in the mirror and thinking I'm going to see what I saw ten years ago. She says that, but I've seen her about to fight her reflection in a store mirror because she didn't realize 1)it was a reflection and 2) it was herself.

Happy Birthday! Listen the 50's are great and you did blossom! I know aging is hard on all of us, especially women. I've always been glad I wasn't a movie star, it must be hard for them to go back and watch themselves when they were young and the skin was tight!
Have a wonderful day!
50? been there done that!
Mirror, mirror on the wall?
WHO IS THAT WOMAN ANYWAY? Oh ya it's the new me?
Sorry, I'm feeling too silly. I better laugh or I'll cry.
Happy Birthday!!! Glad they renewed your license!
love, janel
Those DMV photos are so tough on us! I feel your pain.
Happy birthday.
