While it is fun to reminisce and find old photos (see post below), it serves to remind me just how much I have changed. And, as much as I loved that naturally curly hair and wrinkle-free skin, I wouldn't give up the lessons I have learned and the changes I have experienced that have contributed to the loss of the curl or the addition of some wrinkles. They represent 20 years of life experience and knowledge and understanding that that cute 17 year old could not even fathom. So….while it is good to be healthy and take care of my physical self…it is also good to realize that becoming a beautiful person on the inside is much more important than what I look like on the outside. Because what matters most is what lasts the longest….hair changes texture and falls out….skin gets wrinkly….but true beauty always shines through!!! Hopefully I can continue to grow and learn and be amazed at what I learn in the next 20 years!

Hey, guess what, I made an a** of myself over at Times & Seasons as well, today. I'm on a roll:

I have been trying to catch up on the three different conversations/blogs to which you have been posting. I have to admit, I am a little overwhelmed and haven't had the time to read all the posts/comments and understand the points you were trying to make. One question though....did you recently quit smoking or did you just feel like fighting with someone today :-)
Nope, just felt particularly peculiar last Friday night ...
Joseph Smith tried the faith of the Saints many times by his peculiarities. At one time, he had preached a powerful sermon on the Word of Wisdom, and immediately thereafter, he rode throught he streets of Nauvoo smoking a cigar. Some of the brethren were tried as was Abraham of old.
Joseph Smith as Administrator
By the way, this is hilarious ...

Test
What is the test? I feel like my job is to love and support everyone. I am still sorting out how I feel about the recent post at Times and Seasons.
"Test" was me momentarily blanking on how to make the little linky thing, so I popped over here ... sorry, just me looking for a scratch pad ...
