Practice makes ?

For years I have arisen each day and placed glasses upon my nose.  The habit is perpetual, practiced and persistent.

Now, after cataract surgery, I only use reading glasses. 

Some mornings I wander back to my dresser to find my glasses.  Even though I can see perfectly well.  Even though I know in my head they are not necessary.

But I’m still looking for the ghost glasses that should be upon my nose.

Maybe that’s my halloween costume – a pair of ghost glasses no longer needed placed upon a willing nose demanded by a practice of decades.

I could stand, holding my candy bag open, pushing my ghost glasses up as I explain that this is indeed a costume.  This is nothing like what I would normally wear.  In fact, I have a totally new face, a mask people have never seen before.

Or, I can just stay home!
