Unfortunately, I saw myself naked in the mirror this morning. I could have posed for that painting.

Oh, to be young again.

If you think the women in that painting look good, I must be doing something right. But the mirror tells me otherwise.

But the mirror and the shower are directly across from each other. I would have to blindfold myself before getting in the shower, to avoid seeing myself in the mirror. Could be kind of dangerous!
