I'm sporting a black eye on the right side of my face recently. I have never received so many sympathetic smiles in one week. I appreciate the straight forward approach. The guy at the gym desk asked, 'it's none of my business, but what happened to you?' The grocery store clerk- 'who'd you beat up?' I feel a lot of pressure to be graceful in my everyday activities until my eye clears up. To belie the fact that I brought this upon myself. In truth, I was leaning over a co-worker at the restaurant and gossiping in soft tones when she stood up and bashed the back of her head into my eye. Karma. It could happen to you.
