Hello Tracy, this is a gorgeous piece of writing! A memoir-like essay written in a great language, which urges to read more. The use of the mirror to describe your passed years is sublime!
Thank you so much! It means so much to me that you took the time to read and comment- and I am even more delighted you liked it. I am going to submit once a week (at least that is my goal) so as not to overwhelm people with too many posts. Thank you again 😊😊
Thank you also for the restack! Coincidentally, I am writing a piece now about the Napolean quote - I noticed your use of the word sublime below (how kind of you to use such a fine descriptor for my use of the mirror - She thanks you as well). Keep an eye out in the next two weeks for a piece entitled, "From the Sublime to the Ridiculous it is only One Step". Sending good thoughts and happy days your way!
I loved this exploration of the your relationship with the mirror throughout your life, not just as an ageing woman (as I wrote about); it really got me thinking of my earlier relationship with the mirror. Like you, another latch-key kid, sometimes the mirror was my companion...
Thanks so much for reading and taking time to comment- it always makes me happy to hear someone has enjoyed a piece I’ve written. This is a fun platform to explore different topics, styles and genres of writing and the reader interaction is my favorite- especially great that the readers are also writers! 😊😊

I related to so much of what you wrote, especially the way you and She were able to start understanding each other. Beautifully written!
