a sad girl

today while sara and i were sharing in some girly time (mani-pedis), a young woman walked into the salon.
the manicurist took her right away and seated her at one of the stations in the salon.
not sure why i was originally so intrigued by her.
but i found myself studying her.
she looked so sad.
in fact, she had a frown.
her skin and eyes looked so tired.
her hair was undone, pulled up in a mess of a bun.
her shoulders sagged.
i wondered.
i observed her engagement ring and wedding band.
i couldn't help thinking about her. what happened to this pretty young woman. 
when the manicurist asked her how she was, she barely lifted her head and could hardly look into the manicurist's eyes, but she was able to speak "fine, thank you," and gave a very quiet smile.
did someone she knew die? was her husband ill? did she lose a baby or child? what bad news did she receive? is she depressed? 
do i look like her? am i so apparently sad? do people stop and wonder what happened to me?
am i that sad girl too?

ran this morning with morgan. doing yoga with sara, morgan, etc tomorrow.
