I have been thinking about my avatar lately. Not simply because my smiling face is appearing in literally hundreds of posts in my online classes (although that is part of it) and not just because it is 2009 the year of my 50th birthday and I can't avoid the truth of my chronological age much longer...


...but because I have had to update it - - I realized that I don't look like some pictures that to me look like me - - do you know what I mean? I have to face the fact that the face in my internal mirror is not the face that people see (especially after late nights trying to keep up to date with the afore mentioned online classes....)
How we change day by day.
How we stay the same.
