Description:

Inspired by an ad I see on swap-bot sometimes which shows a high school senior picturesand then the same woman looking "senior" -- you know gray hair, etc. I related. But those of you who are in the neighborhood of 50 may relate less [Madonna is 50 - LOL] However, I thought a swap with two pictures, one of you as a senior in high school and one now would be interesting.

You can Xerox the two side by side on any commercial Xerox machine B&W is okay, color Xeroxes can be great.

Then write a then/now note telling your partners something about you Where did you live then, where now? What did you think you'd be doing X-years later and what are you actually doing? Add any interesting info you want like some of the various places you've lived, the jobs you've had, the kids, husbands, houses, pets -- anything you feel like telling a friend, because we are all friends in this group.

We're all busy so I'll set the sign up by the end of this month and not make the send by date until end of January which should give you time to wind down from the holidays.

We're an international group so this is international but it should be only one stamp unless you feel like adding stuff your partner might enjoy receiving -- not necessary of course..

It takes a certain degree of bravery to do this- to see yourself starkly side by side/ young and old. But shying away from it is to deny yourself the clear vision of what has been lived and learned, and looking back you may see a life richer than you might think. It's an opportunity I will enjoy, Thank you junemoon!

It indeed is an opportunity to see what your life the past fifty or more years was presented to you and how you accepted your choices. It may be an awaking of sorts especially to see the "before" and "after" side by side pictures. Can't resist doing this one June, thanks.

Do you want this to be a collage of sorts, or just two pics, side by side? How elaborate need it be?

Thanks-cr
