Changed By Change

So here's the thing...

Change happens.

I tell you what, I'm always shocked when I walk past a mirror and see my image. I think, "Who is that and what happened to HER?"
Oh.
Then I stop and look closer and recognize some of the original parts are still somewhat recognizable:
The brilliantly white teeth,
The sparkling eyes
The crazed expression on my face.

The changes are just as obvious, especially the 'platinum highlights' I've embraced these last few years.
My taste has changed as I experiment with this 'old is the new black' lifestyle. I take risks (like leggings-they are easy to wear if you don't mind feeling like you forgot to put your skirt on before leaving the house). I have also gotten a real kick out of watching the reactions of my friends and family when they see what I'm up to next.

Wait, I've ALWAYS gotten that reaction....

Change means we move toward positive stuff  like fun, personal interests, exploring new places and things.

Change also means we move away from downers like stagnation, boredom, routine, stale mindsets, and lack of imagination.

 I think it's okay to reinvent yourself occasionally. What's the worst that can happen?

You can always go back home and get your skirt.
