Calmness

It takes a lot of patience, when you’re being reduced to one’s neighbourhood, and only go out for groceries & exercise. It’s a useful experience, given the hectic life we live today. And one can wonder why. Time for reflection & calmness has helped me appreciate the simple things around me much more. Grateful.

Reflections

Can you walk past a mirror without looking – eg. the mirror in the elevator, shop window that reflects, in a department store? I can’t help it, it happens automatically. A bit silly perhaps or even a bit vain. Glancing for a quick check, you know. I sometimes think that my three boys, one of which is my husband, are completely obsessed. They would use their time in front of the mirror all day long if they could decide, believe me. (Isn’t it a common ailment in our society today?) I often find myself sitting & waiting for them to be done, when we’re going somewhere. Once it becomes my turn, the expectation is that I should I be ready in three minutes … patience is a virtue! (Which is another thing we seem to lack a bit in our society). Anyway, appearance comes before everything else. Nothing wrong with that, first impression & so on.

So, moving on, there are lots of stylish mirrors, for those who not only want to look on themselves in the mirror, but also are fond of design too. Lots of different styles, colors, shapes & materials. Mirrors that can occupy an entire wall, or small round with nice details. Or just plain, simple with bevelled edge. You just have to pick & choose among all the varieties. Mirrors are nice, take a look yourself 🙂
