Mirror mirror

Sometimes life is as simple as moving away from the mirror.

Disney's magic mirror was happy to stir things up by telling everyone who was the fairest in the land and people were so serious about it that they were willing to poison each other to change things.

I am so far past thinking I can win any kind of beauty competition that no one would think I'd care if there was a mirror in the house or not, but like a friend recently said, "Sometimes you just need a mirror."

And you do!

However, sitting in front of a mirror while you watch television is a whole other thing.

I've been sitting there for over three months.  Looking at this orangutang type creature sprawled out in her chair with baggy eyes and sagging jowls and growing more and more depressed.

Last night and today I switched everything around!  Now I may wake up and see myself in that mirror, but probably not.  I seldom open my eyes much before that first cup of coffee and I will now drink that on the other side of the room facing my television, or bathroom, or pictures -- but not that awful reflection of me.

I feel better already.
