Day 1222: Be proud of who you are

Yesterday —  on another cold and rainy May stay-cation day — I saw my old friend Ada. We shared many memories, hopes,  and a cup of tea.

Be proud of who you are, even if

• you forget to take a picture of your fabulous friend Ada,
• you fall asleep before answering all the comments on your blog,
• the universe conspires to give you miserable weather throughout your long-awaited May stay-cation,
• you make mistakes every day,
• your memory and your endurance fade as you age,
• you go for walks when other people have the good sense to stay inside,
• you dance and sing out loud in public,
• you sometimes forget the words,
• you let your childhood piano go untuned for over 15 years,
• you’re living with a guy who collects snow globes,
• you haven’t done any of the cooking, cleaning, or laundry since that snow-globe-collecting guy moved in,
• you make messes,
• you have trouble making some decisions,
• you get impatient sometimes,
• you show and express all your feelings, including fear, anger, sadness, and joy, and
• you can’t always explain why you snap and share the photos you do.

 

I’m proud of who I was yesterday, dancing  and singing out loud to this:

Be proud of who you are, no matter how you respond to this post.

Proud thanks to all who help me blog every day and to you — of course! — for being proud of who you are (I hope).
