“Here is to laugh lines.  They mean you have good stories and many loves.  They mean you are never completely alone and never without humor.  Laugh lines are a sign that you are a glorious spirit – because one can not have laugh lines, unless one has found a lot in life to be grateful for, joyous of and amused by.  Here is to laugh lines, they are proof of a life lived well.” -Athena

I wrote this for Mona a while ago and for some reason as I looked in the mirror this morning I thought about it. I need more laugh lines; more of my life lived well. I’ll get right on that.

I hope you are all out making some serious laugh lines on those lovely faces.

Thanks for thinking of those laugh lines again. Last night I met up with a dear high school friend with whom I have been out of touch for the past 16 years. As we sat across the table from eachother while catching up over dinner I couldn’t help but marvel at how much of the girl was shining out of the adult face across from me. As we grow up our faces reflect the experiences and learning of our lifetime. The changes don’t mask who we once were, they celebrate who we have become.

Mona :)

That was a brilliant comment! Thank you!
I will think of that line for quite some time, I’m sure,
“The changes don’t mask who we once were, they celebrate who we have become.”

I love it! You are so wise!
I miss you!!
XOXO
