Mirror Mirror.....

Have you seen the Story People website or gift items in Posh Giftey Stores? I get the quote of the day by email and at times they seem to be running editorial comments on my life and those folks I know! So this is todays "story". My sister and I accuse each other of spying and reporting back to Iowa, the home of Story People.

Here's the Story of the Day:

Enough Worry

There are things I refuse to show you, my mirror told me. You've got enough to worry about already.

I chuckled....recently I realized that I do my evening routine....2 minutes with the old electric toothbrush (which my toothbrush tells me when I've reached 2 minutes)..really flossing and expensive rinse (invested $5000 in my teeth last year)....nice creams for taking off make up and creams for the night....All done with just the light of our little candle nightlight on in the bathroom. I sometimes pause to think, "gee not many wrinkles for my age....well preserved I'd say." And like scripture says, look in the mirror and go off and forget what you saw.

The surprise comes when I see myself in broad daylight in a mirror...Ouch! It happened last week sitting in the car waiting for my daughter in law to have her check up at the midwife office. Grandson was dozing in the back seat so I flipped my visor mirror down see if he was still asleep....and YIKES who is that wrinkely lady?

My own bathroom mirror is my gracious friend who doesn't tell me too much....or is it my candle nightlight?
