Mirrors

So my good friend has been here with me for the weekend and she casually pointed out that I didn't have mirrors in my room. I was surprised that she had noticed and found it strange enough to comment on it. It's not something I've really thought about about until she challenged me to think about the real reason I don't have a mirror. I guess I have to be honest, when I look in the mirror, although I am not horrified by what I see; I'm not happy with it, nor am I comfortable to look at it for too long. Then I started thinking about my day to day regime. I get dressed and only glance in the mirror downstairs as I'm stepping out the door, coat on, ready to face the world. Is that weird? I don't know...Just got me thinking! What do you guys think?
Much Love

  1. I spend far too much time looking in the mirror, not because I am vain, but because I am very critical of myself - and aware that I am twice the age of a lot of the girls on the course..... are my jowels saggy, the bags under my eyes are too big, how many chins???, is my mole sprouting hair?!?!?!
    wish I could cover them all up! (the mirrors that is!)

  2. it IS odd that you don't look in the mirror much but I guess the same insecurity manifest in diff ways. I look in the mirror far too much; pushing and prodding at all my jiggly bits and trying to fix up the rest. I WISH I could not look in the mirror...but then I'd just send the world running in fear...:)
