Living without a mirror

Ok, this is going to sound very conceited and self centered, but for the last week, while we were in Njawara, we have had no access to a mirror.

Just stop for a moment and think of how many times in a day you look at yourself in a mirror. 
When you first get up
when you get out of the shower
when you put on makeup (some of you)
In the front hall before you leave
in the car
in windows as you pass

that's just getting out of the house.  For the last week I have not seen myself at all.  I didn't even know how badly I needed to shave until I got back to Fajarrah today and looked at myself.  It's pretty scary.

I guess this is just one more of those realizations  I've had on this trip that sometimes its very easy to let go of all that, without even really realizing it.

This hopefully will go down as the strangest blog post I've made yet. It seems that way writing it.
