Ever since i picked up this mirror, a few months back, I have been trying to get it to work.
I guess I am not surprized that i just was diagnosed with a bacterial eye infection today....I really haven't been "seeing" well. And I have begun to realize exactly how much I look, but fail to see.
I have mirrors, but they do not work. They reflect back this very odd, vague figure of someone, this almost stranger, looking back at me.
My age perpetually surprizes me. The mirror is the only thing that tries to tell me this truth. And I rarely look. Mirrors are strictly decorative, at least in my house.
Sometimes I take a glance on the way out the door, to see if my hair is all scattered and akimbo...I think its about 50/ 50 as to whether or not it actually registers in my brain that I need that brush.
Younglink, ah, my little Wonder and bundle of boy, Him, I always see because he would have it no other way. he knows enough to get right in my face to state his point or to check something out, and he always registers :)
My partner, hmmm, I probably only see her once a week or so, if I consciously tell myself too. She could have a brand new doo, or a new shirt on and it doesn't register. So, I have been working on seeing better, improving my vision.
Yeah, I wear glasses just for the close stuff and that really is not an excuse. I don't know if i have always been this way with my vision. Is this a current affair? Or I am just becoming aware that I have always been this way? I'm thinking its a little of both.
I know that I don't remember faces very well at all and that the majority of people all look alike to me. So, that leads me to think that this is more long-standing.
Why do people look in the mirror? I guess I equate that with checking for flaws or vanity...neither of which I find or believe true in this moment.
I guess I really don't know how to make this mirror work. I thought if i wrote about it, some sort of answer would float by...but, nope, I have none.
