Trina, if I say I completely understand what you are saying and feeling - does that mean I might be crazy too??!!  But seriously, our minds are just so hard to convince, it seems. Maybe it's like that weird optical illusion that happens after we stare at something for a long time, then we look away but we still see it. We are so used to seeing ourselves a certain way, we have changed, but we don't see the new us. We see the old us. Like it's burned into our brains. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! 
PS - Of course, we don't have that problem when we look at others who are changing. I see an amazing transformation with each new picture you share. But I always see you, that beautiful smile is so absolutely 'you' in every picture I look at. Your kind, caring, loving soul always shines through. Yes, I am quite aware that the 'wrapping paper' has changed, but the gift inside is still as special as ever!
