I'll be seventy in a few weeks. And my husband, who is seventy-one, says he has not reached middle age yet and tells me I'm beautiful every day and that helps.

I bought a little 12X mirror with a light ringing it for when I need to have a look at errant facial hairs. I'm always shocked when I look in that mirror but am glad I can use it to clean up a bit before venturing out. There are no full length mirrors in my house - why do that to myself?Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-6733747748197870602019-01-29T11:11:37.931-06:002019-01-29T11:11:37.931-06:00Dee,

I'm 82 now; will be 83 in April and the facial lines just keep getting deeper and the dark purple half-moons under my eyes just keep looking more and more bruised and the hair seems to be developed a mind of its own--rebelling exuberantly after all these years. So I mostly avoid the mirror and simply hope that those seeing me out and about will be kind with their thoughts. Mostly, I think they must wonder if I'm dressed for Halloween, mask and all! Peace.

The smaller bedroom one shows only my face and neck, so I happily can't see the rest of the "iceberg" beneath. The second bedroom mirror shows more of me and I use that one to check that my clothes are loose enough to not show off the rolls of fat. The bathroom mirror has the bright light and when I look in that one I see what appears to be fallen eyelashes on the cheeks under each eye, but they won't brush off, so I look closer and OMG, they are wrinkles! Still, I'm happy enough that the small eye wrinkles are all I have so far on my face. I'm sure more will appear in time.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
