today. Though I don't feel it. Usually. Then I remember my daughter is starting high school in a few short months. And my son will be a teenager next year. And my other son only has 3 more years in elementary school. Then I feel old.
I remember when I was 10, my mom was 35. And I thought she was so old. Well on my way to 40, I laugh to think that my kids see me the same way. And they do. They tell me often.
Am I where I thought I would be at 38? I don't know. But it doesn't matter. I wouldn't change anything. I am so blessed.

Ugh. I hate SPs. My nose and cheeks are darker because of the freckles. I thought about lightening them but they're me so I left it like it is. Just wanted to assure y'all that I do shower on a regular basis ;-)

This is great Amy...wonderful light too! I remember thinking the same thing when a teacher of mine turned 40. We threw her an 'over the hill' party...it seemed so far away at that point for me. I laugh now...because I definitely don't feel OVER the hill..lol.
Love your post and photo. I am not far behind you! I also think about the thoughts I thought when my mother was the same age I am now. :) I am glad you left the photo as is!! Happy Birthday!
Love the selfie! Glad you are doing them! I am proudly over 40 and don't feel it!!
Happy Birthday, Amy. I remember thinking the same thing. Now...the older I get, the younger "old" is. Nice selfie. I like that you left it like it is.
You're ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, Amy. Love this SP. B&W gives great details.
Happy belated birthday!! gorgeous photo of yourself!
Happy Birthday pretty lady :)
Beautiful! :) Happy Birthday!
ohh....Happy Belated Birthday, girl!!
Love your self portrait! You have great focus on your eyes and nice DOF on the shirt. I'm impressed. I know how hard these are.
And you are YOUNG to have a high schooler. I'm betting most of your kids' friends have parents older than you. :)
great post and gah!!! you are beautiful. not that 38 is old...b/c it isn't...but you do NOT look 38.
Well I think you are beautiful! You taught me a lesson with this and I'm glad I took the chance to reread it! :)
