Life Layers

I was lying on the bed reading and my daughter came up to me and said, "Wow, Mommy, you have lots of layers on your neck."

Layers.  Meaning wrinkles.

After I took a deep breath (I had been trying to relax and my daughter's comment kind of shot that to you-know-what for awhile) I tried to re-assume my zen state.

I thought about it for a bit, and decided that I definitely preferred the term 'layers' to 'wrinkles'.

I do have lots of life layers, after all.  I am 41 years old.  I have three children.  I have a husband.  I have two jobs.  I run.  I do boot camp.  I write.  I....the list goes on.

I have earned every single layer.

Life layers.  Much better!
