Long-Retired,
ME
and the Mirror
The
other day I woke
feeling
so good.
I
thought, “Today’s
the
day I could
go
look for work.”
Then,
I got out of bed
tottered
to the bathroom,
stepped
on the scale,
and
washed my hands.
I
saw my reflection
in
the cabinet glass.
That
did it! Who,
in
their right mind,
would
hire the ME
in
the mirror?
Maybe,
with make-up,
a
new hairdo . . .
lose
a few pounds . . .

Dear Eleanor,
ReplyDeleteSince this was an archive celebration and the holiday season, please don't get discouraged about the lack of comments. The honor was one of my co-editors selected for the month. We were in a transition period and have come to share what we hope will be a better fit for writers going forward.
Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement.
Blessings,
Karen
