and goes

Yesterday I was speaking with my best friend about the afterlife and if it was possible to receive messages from our loved ones . Well today I think I may have gotten a message. While I was brushing my teeth this morning I was looking in the mirror and I wasn't liking what I was seeing. I realized that I looked my age and then some. I was bloated in the face from too much sleep, bloated everywhere else from too many carbohydrates, and just generally looking sort of rough. But I decided not to dwell on it because I had too much to do so I jumped in the shower, got myself together, and headed out to the grocery store. While I was standing in the laundry detergent aisle having a silent debate with myself over the value of the premium brand versus the no frills brand an older asian woman touched me on the forearm. She said you very pretty- I smiled at her embarrased and said thank you. She said no thank you - the world needs pretty things. Was that a message from the other side when I needed it most or what?
