My Shadow

I had an interesting encounter with my shadow today. I hardly recognized it. No, it was not the time of day when the sun stretches your shadow so you appear 7 feet tall. It was early morning when the shadow is short, similar to your actual height. I saw my shadow as I hurried to work today but had to stop and wonder, when did my shadow get so skinny? Yes I have looked in a mirror and yes I know that I have lost weight, but seeing it there on the ground in front of me was certainly a sight to behold. All this time my shadow has been shrinking and I had no idea!
