The way I feel and the way I look don’t match.
On the inside, I still feel like I did when I was a child. I have to remind myself that I’m grown and can do whatever I want. I’m sometimes startled by the 40-something image that meets me in the mirror.
How did I get here?
Sure, I remember all the growing pains—life’s ups and downs that filled each decade. I’ve learned from each one. Knowledge, understanding, and wisdom are the degrees earned from the university of hard-knocks.
Still it doesn’t seem possible that I’ve come this far…
