Grow
October 21, 2007 IF, about me, watercolor
Grow | Watercolor
The theme is ‘Grow’ over at Illustration Friday. This money plant has been inside our living room for almost a year now and has grown to about 6 feet long! I wish I could be 6 feet tall but it turns out that I grow a year older instead! Today I am the healthy age of 20 times 10 divided by 2 minus 24 divided by 2! I am noticing that my hair thins, waist grows, and bones ache but it doesn’t bother me much. It’s mind over matter, If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. Though a little less energetic, I’m more hard working, more smarter, more honest, more wiser and more happier.
I know I will grow old gracefully.
