Mirror Mirror.......

I have a love hate relationship with ALL mirrors......do you? I mean, sometimes I walk by a mirror, glance in it and think...who is that woman? It is indeed surprising most of the time. I have a full length mirror in our master bath. FULL LENGTH.......horrifying, brutally horrifying. It was great 30 years ago.....yes I know, maybe I should have taken it down before the two kids, and the waning muscle tone and the well....I'll not go further. It is built into the wall......you can walk right up to it, and it is lovely for putting on makeup....checking teeth for pepper....and okay,okay......scrutinizing for wayward chin hairs. It is my friend when I'm extra cute and look somewhat stylish....these times come about once every 27 months. It can be my worst enemy when I stand before it and oooooooooooooooo nooooooooooooooooo.....maybe that extra helping of whatever should NEVER have happened.....these times come about every 27 seconds. But here's the thing......mirrors are to be used. Ya gotta......you just gotta. After you dress...it may bring tears to your eyes.... but make yourself do a full length survey....every day.....yes indeed...front, side and take a deep breath, back. Do it.....it surely will hurt worse than a root canal with no novocaine, but you owe it to yourself and the reputation of your family. Lots of things can go on when you don't check your image......let me tell you, they've happened to me a time or two. So again....front, side and back. As time goes on, it will become less painful, maybe more like a log jammed in your eye. Raise your right and and repeat after me....I WILL NOT leave my house without a complete mirror check. Just don't!!!
