At the turn from our bedroom into the hallway, there is an old full-length mirror in a wooden frame. -- from Always Looking Up.
I would ask the obvious question, What are you smiling about? but I already know the answer: It just gets better from here.
This reflected version of myself, wet, shaking, rumpled, pinched, and slightly stooped, would be alarming were it not for the self-satisfied expression pasted across my face.
Turning fully toward the glass, I consider what I see.
I can\'t help but catch a glimpse of myself as I pass.
