Notice Anything Different?

Nov 17, 2010 by

This is me! Little Old Me! In the year 2000 when I turned 30. My Dad took me to Paris for my 30th Birthday. It was a brilliant trip and everything I dreamt Paris would be.

This is me! Little Old Me! In the year 2010 when I turned 40. We were in the Cotswolds in England. It was a brilliant trip and everything I dreamt that the Cotswolds would be. Notice anything different? Ten years later…something just may have been missing from that picture in 2000. Sure, a glorious Eiffel Tower and unfortunate blonde hair is there. But something was missing. It took me across an ocean and 35 years to find it. Ten years later I notice something different…my life is pretty nearly perfect and complete. Wonder what 2020 will look like?

These pictures are brought to you courtesy of inspiration from Tara Cain’s Sticky Fingers Gallery. This week’s theme: Before & After.
