Five Minutes in the Mirror

When I look in the mirror I see....

A bit more gray hair than I would like to see.
Hair that has been ignored into a ponytail more times than I can count.
Wispy "wings" around my forehead that won't cooperate, no matter how I straighten, blow dry, or try to join them instead of beat them.
Round cheeks and an overbite, but at least I have straight teeth.  Thanks for the 4 years in braces, Mom and Dad.



Again, there is a very distinct roundness in front.   Evidence of a little girl hoped for, and as yet unseen.  A little child with a promise of grace. 

I see, finally, a grown up who has replaced the quiet girl.  A woman.  A wife.  A mother. 

I've linked today with Gypsy Mama (Links and pics added after 5 minutes were up), and Company Girl Coffee.   Feel free to hop along with the Company Girl Blog Hop, below!
