...I too don't see Me in photos or in the mirror. <br /><br />The beauty is - when I met you at ArtFest, age wasn't even a part of the portrait - smiles, shining eyes, positive vibes, warmth and energy came rushing out. Maybe that is why photos are so deceiving - they don't capture the essence. <br /><br />What wonderful, complex, eclectic people we are!Beverly Ash Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604623165508918570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734476.post-74286040369632425342009-04-16T18:03:00.000-07:002009-04-16T18:03:00.000-07:00It's so interesting what you say about not relatin...It's so interesting what you say about not relating to yourself in pictures.<br />LK LUdwig told us at ArtFest that if we want to see a picture that looks like us we have to take it ourselves. Others shoot the photos when we look like what they see. I think it's a fabulous theory. I am going to start doing just that and see what happens.<br /><br />The cough: Awful! I went through AF sneezing and choking on my own coughs. It didn't take away the fun though.Binkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000504478018381497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734476.post-73753523147154868872009-04-16T07:55:00.000-07:002009-04-16T07:55:00.000-07:00Oh Judy, you are so beautiful and so blonde and fa...Oh Judy, you are so beautiful and so blonde and fair which is what I wanted to be! I rarely show myself on my blog as I just do not believe that is ME... so it must be the latest epidemic. Say, that would be a good project.<br /><br />Speaking of epidemics, I do hope you are well and 100% soon. It's tough, I know.

Those stupid coughs can be nasty.<br /><br />As for identifying with who I see in the mirror, well, not so much for me. That stopped 11 years ago after my brain tumor surgery. I couldn't really see "myself" in the mirror and just stopped looking for many years. I do look now, but I don't think it's the same as when I was younger. <br />And the getting older doesn't bother me so very much, it sort of all gravy now, as they say!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161411285377899594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734476.post-1310588081656026582009-04-15T18:16:00.000-07:002009-04-15T18:16:00.000-07:00Judy, You met my partner Lana Weed in de Mengs cla...Judy, You met my partner Lana Weed in de Mengs class on matchbooks at Artfest. Lana has had cough variant asthma so bad she had to take a 6 mo disability leave from Boeing. Today she just saw her doctor and after many years and is much much better. On advair and an<br />occasional inhaler plus nasacort and zyrtex,<br /><br />It can be very scary. We identified scents, triggers, got air cleaners and stayed away from wood smoke etc.<br /><br />If you ever need to talk to some one who has it and does pretty well after years of illness; Lana says call her 360-491-0110 or email: lweed26@comcast.net<br /><br />Best of luck with fast healing.

At nearly 68 I have a wider smile, more twinkly eyes and a more expanded heart and head than I did when I was younger. I am happier than I have been in years. Art has been a huge part of this expanding process...<br />I bet if you had posted this when you were not going through an illness you'd see yourself much differently too. ;-) Just a guess/hunch.

My theory is, it's all to do with outlook and art. My uncle once said it's a total waste of time to worry about your age, it's the one thing in life we don't have control over or can do anything about, so why waste time worrying.<br />I hope you're feeling better now and feeling like the thirty year old in your head.Ro Bruhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766616012470244040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734476.post-72838516119805566402009-04-15T13:37:00.000-07:002009-04-15T13:37:00.000-07:00I stopped relating to the me in photos after I gre...I stopped relating to the me in photos after I grew jowls.
