I promise I won't do this often girls...but I know that fitness involved a lot more than just flexing our beautiful muscles...and this little excerpt is just so wonderful I thought you might all like to read it...a good way to recenter ourselves.
And thanks for indulging me. :-rollen
THE PURPLE HAT
When a woman looks in the mirror.... Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen!
Age 8: She looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty.
Age 15: She looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/
Cheerleader or if she is PMS'ing sees Fat/Pimples/UGLY ("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 anyway.
Age 30: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall,
too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it, she's
going anyway.
Age 40: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall,
too straight/too curly" - but says, "At least, I'm clean" and goes anyway.
Age 50: She looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to
go.
Age 60: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't
even see themselves in the mirror anymore. She goes out and conquers the
world.
Age 70: She looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out
and enjoys life.
Age 80: She doesn't bother to look. She just puts on a purple hat and goes
out to have fun with the world.
Send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends. Maybe we
should all grab that purple hat a little earlier!
The beauty of a woman Is not in the clothes she wears, The figure that she
carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen
within her eyes, Because that is the Doorway to her heart, The place where
love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole. But true
beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she
lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, And the beauty of a woman with
passing years only grows!
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!
