The Reason Why

With the holiday upon me, I feel the need to reflect.

*Peers in mirror*

Yep, it's still me.

Whew!

Glad to get that out of the way.

*Glances at the mirror again*

Wait...

What's different?

*Pulls skin back tightly around left eye*

Am I going to need an eye lift by the time I'm forty?

No, thats not it.

*Leans closer to mirror*

It's the look in the eyes. Definitely different than a year ago.

*Bends head down*

Pluck! I need to color my hair. What's causing me to gray prematurely?

Life, girl. Deal with it.

Maybe it's me not dealing with it that is causing me to feel this way.

Ya think?
