Hanging onto the past...

Just scanning my blog and saw my blog profile picture and had to have a chuckle at myself. It's not really an "old" picture, I think it was taken maybe a year ago or so, but oh my, it's really not a true reflection of me now... I feel like I've aged so much since that photo was taken, and goodness knows I've packed on a few pounds (ok, a few stone, but let's not be too pedantic at this hour)...

Funny how we hang onto romantic notions of ourselves as a form of self-preservation.
