Perspective

Doug's mother is out of the hospital and back in her assisted-living apartment. They're giving her tons of extra help and importing both physical and occupational therapists to get her moving again. So far, she's using a wheelchair to get around, but I expect that may change this week.

A couple days ago, Doug's sister Nancy was at the apartment helping out. My mother-in-law said, "Gee, I hope I get my strength back soon. It's just not right to be so weak and dizzy and sick when you're only 53."

Nancy (who's 50) waited a minute before she said anything, hoping Adele would self-correct. Finally, Nancy said, "Well, Mom, you're not 53. You're 83."

"Oh," Adele said, "that explains a LOT!"

  2. who was it that wrote about us thinking always of ourselves as 22, or 36, 0r even 44 year olds, and being nothing short of shocked every time we look in the mirror when we've actually long past these years, wondering "who IS that?"..?
