- people less than half my age tell me how to do something I've been doing--and very well, thank you--since before they were born
- people assume my white hair means the head beneath it is empty
- people think that I couldn't possible know "what's going on"; think again
- things break or go wrong in my house; it makes me feel insecure
- my hair is straight; it makes me feel insecure
I like it when:
- my garage door opens without a hitch
- my car starts
- my across-the-street neighbor calls to tell me I've left my garage door open; this only happens at night, and I don't often leave the door open, but if I do, she calls--I can count on it
- my neighbor on my left mows my little stretch of lawn near his house
- someone comes to rake my leaves--and I don't really care who it is
- my kids call and I know they are okay
- better yet, they stop by
- friends stop by
- I've lost a pound or two
- my hair has some curl in it
And I like it that I have finished my Grandma's quilt.
