Quote of the day:
“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”
~ Ralph Marston, professional football player who spent a season in the National Football League with the Boston Bulldogs in 1929 and founder of The Daily Motivator
“You look tired.”
Here lately I have gotten that comment quite often and I am getting to the point that I am staring at the mirror and wondering what is prompting it. I mean there are times when I am worn out – there is a reason the young have young kids and I cannot match my granddaughters’ boundless energy for very long. I don’t handle 12 – 13 hour days with quite the ease that I used to I find that physical labor takes a tool and that angst weighs me down – but there are times when apparently I look more exhausted than I realize. Personally I think it has to do with those ubiquitous dark bags [technical term subluxation] under my eyes that started showing up a decade or so ago – something else I can blame on genetics as well as thin hair. And being a natural ginger, I have very fair skin and have had lots and lots of sunburns. I don’t wear makeup – I never did wear much but I used to put on eyeshadow and mascara at least, so the bags are rather more obvious to me at least. And I’m just not into a complicated beauty routine, although some of the things on this list I do regularly. On the other hand? I AM tired as in weary of the news, as in totally done with health issues and losing family members, as in bored with entertainment options – so maybe my looks do not belie my condition after all.
Bah
