One Clear Dot

When I am living my life, day to day, I feel like I am still 18 or maybe 25. It is not until I take a very close look in the mirror that I rather feel my age.

I see one white hair on my head I need to pluck, as well as the two that growing in my eyebrows. I found a white hair on e one of my fingers. I admit that is barely enough to make anyone panic, but it shows me what is coming my way. As the texture of my hair continues to change, I wonder if it is not just my body getting ready for an out and out color change.

My skin still looks pretty great. I have a few fine lines, most notably the vertical line between my eyebrows. I think that is from a lifetime of squinting when I am hard at thought. Even so, I spend a lot of time and money seeking out the best wrinkle cream, looking for the miracle product that will stop my skin from looking any older. I know I do not have the skin I had a teen, and I miss it. I was dewy, glowing, fair, and without blemish. If only I could regain that skin – I would make a fortune showing others how to do the same.

Of course, with age comes wisdom, peace, patience, and a deeper appreciation for most everything. I would not want to go back in time if I had to leave behind the things I know now. The skin, yes I would love to go back and live in that skin, but I want my current wisdom.
