Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I picked out new glasses today. I flirted with the idea of going really wild, but ended up with modest differences: a little different shape, and sides a little bit untraditional, the colors different, but not wildly so. The thing is, glasses are so expensive, and I really had no justification for new ones except being tired of the old ones, so I need to wear these a long, long time. Rationality won out. The bigger the frames the less my saggy face shows, and they serve as camoflage. My hair keeps getting grayer, so the frames keep getting darker, though maybe that's not so rational. Andway, I was brave and looked into the mirrors to assess myself, despite my usual avoidance of mirrors. That is how I protect myself from the shock of aging, but I really did need to look today. Did I mention glasses cost a ton of money? Who knows how I'll feel when I pick them up in a few weeks. I may be horrified. But I doubt it. I'm relieved the choosing is over, and that more than makes up for the chance that I've chosen unwisely. So, now I've had a haircut and will soon have new glasses. Who knows what my next grooming adventure will be? Not me. Remember, avoid the mirrors.
