I went to a meeting last night for the new business I am starting. I saved a seat for my friend and was keeping an eye out for her arrival.
I missed seeing her come in the door but saw her approach from the other direction. Apparently she didn't recognise me when she came in. I asked her if I really looked so different - she gave me an "are you kidding me?" look.
It is hard to see it in ourselves. I certainly see it in my clothes, most of which are hanging off me or new. I feel it when I am putting lotion on after a shower; seems like every week I feel new bones emerging. I even noticed that my behind hurt after a long drive - that big ole' cushion is missing!
But to look so different that someone who has known me for 10 years had trouble picking me out in a crowd? Wow.
