A sudden and harsh reality. I look 20 years older in the outdoor natural daylight.

I was sitting in my truck yesterday. It was warm so I rolled down the window and looked into the side mirror. What I saw was my 80 year old grandfather.
Every gray hair, scar, pit, wrinkle, crease, and flaw was highlighted tenfold. A grizzled, weathered face indeed.

Aaww, I feel you. It's a shock when that happens. 🫣

@Magenta I look 45 -50 indoors, in stores, etc. I look 80 outdoors! Why does natural daylight do that??
Now I finally understand the "light up" makeup mirrors that women use. 😂

Yup. How are your eyebrows?

Nobody told me getting old meant my eyebrows would turn white and then grow in a crazy cork screw fashion.

@SumKindaMunster Every gray hair in the eyebrows was bright white, saying look at me, look at meeee, including one that was about 3/4 of an inch long that I never saw indoors. I mowed them immediately, although I didn't think I had to...until I went outside. 😂🤦

@SumKindaMunster In fact, the shocking eyebrows were what actually prompted this post.
