Coffin Star

Unless you live under a rock (that’s not such a bad idea) you’ve probably heard of the ten-year challenge. Essentially, you post a decade-old photo of yourself alongside a current picture. It’s a way to brag about how amazing you look now compared to then, or vice versa. I’m sure there are some who look fantastic in both shots, but I probably don’t know them. Or want to. Following the challenge has got me thinking about how I’ve spent the past decade. A lot of it was mundane: a few dozen dentist visits, an awful lot of dishes washed, beds made and laundry done. Some of it was awful. I wrecked a perfectly good car and broke several bones. Some was wonderful. There were four terrific cruises and five delightful grandchildren. I’ve seen nearly 400 movies on the big screen. I’ve made several dozen large quilts and many, many more tiny ones. And I’ve entered 2,661 posts in this blog. Amazing!
