Eight Feet To Eternity
I look at myself closely twice during the day. Once after I get up, and once after I shower (additional showers, if necessary, raise the total). Both for grooming purposes.
It's always discouraging, to a degree, like it always has been. Getting older, though, makes that discouragement more pronounced.
Today I looked at myself, as always, then happened to turn and look back from a distance. Much to my surprise, I looked pretty good! Almost like my old self when I was in my early 50s.
I stepped off the distance and it was roughly eight feet.
New policy: only look closely once, right after I get up. For the rest of the day, any looks must be from a minimum of eight feet.
New product idea: a mirror that makes it look like you're already eight feet away. Genius.
