Today is the second day back to school for A. I have to take pause when I see her bop out the door, as wasn't it only just yesterday I was in 8th grade in that same school??? Sometimes I look in the mirror and think, "Who is this middle 40's person looking back at me? I feel so young in my mind." I never was part of a group in school like A. I was never a nerd or a social or any other titled group for that matter. I was a swimmer and a dancer and there was no group name for that.
Well anyway, one day while she was instant messaging and typing at lightning speed (oops, I mean "keyboarding" as I am told they do not call it typing anymore! That's my middle 40's language coming out.) she was also sketching at the same time. Doing her own self portrait from a photo she snapped of herself.
Don't your own kids amaze you all the time?? Mine do.

What a beautiful girl...and the rendering is lovely! I too look in the mirror and don't recognize the woman staring back at me, she is not the face that lives in my head and heart. Perhaps we should do away with mirrors???
She is very talented! Funny post...I'm just in my 30's and I didn't know we are supposed to call it keyboarding either. Good to know.
