I've always liked looking at myself in a mirror....It's like I'm someone else....Not me.....This woman in the mirror. But then I see the glow....and the flow....and I know it is me....Happy despite the circumstances that would steal that happiness. Steadfast in the turmoil of lost jobs, lost money, lost homes, lost possessions, lost confidence, lost faith.......It's a shakedown of America....we moan, we groan, we pay the piper for the years of thoughtless bliss....It's no surprise.....but that doesnt make it easy to swallow. Nor should it.....The years of thinking each person is entitled to a life of plenty has come to an end....We stand at the cliff, looking despair and oblivion in the face and we can be miserable or we can be happy.....Depends on your spiritual orientation. My reflection, my soul, my self-portrait is happy.....How about you????
