We Can't Change Some Things - But We Can Look At Them Differently

---

This old gal…

Was a little bit humbled while grocery shopping…pulled another winner…somehow making a recording holding the phone…on the handle of the cart…that angle…the under the chin angle…was shocking…disheartening…so…painful…one will have to use their imagination…because the worst of this video…will forever remain hidden…

The neck…the chin blob…the lines around the mouth…the realization…that the person she envisions in her head…is not the person…others see…but then…rock hunting me…caught a glimpse in the floor length mirror…maybe it was the outfit…the cheap glass…the hazy lighting…but the memory of that fateful video…faded away…

Replaced with a new perspective…one that says old gal…we can’t change some things…but we can look at them differently…and see the good…the beauty…the joy…that lies within…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
