I realized, as I was putting on my make up this morning, that looking at myself in the mirror is a lot less fun, and takes a lot more courage, at 68 than it did at 23. I don't really believe that there is a new wrinkle on my face every day, but it certainly seems that way sometimes.
Lucky for me I can't wear my glasses while I'm doing my make up, so I don't really see the harshest reality.
I heard recently of a woman who coped by simply removing all mirrors from her house. I'm not quite ready for that yet. On the other hand, one of my friends who is my age uses a magnifying mirror so she can really see all the flaws - no thank you!
