Six Certainties (make that 5 1/2)

Updated: Feb 20, 2022

1. Sleeping beside someone I love is no small thing.

2. When I’m having my teeth cleaned, it helps if I pretend I’m being tortured and they will Not. Make. Me. Talk.

3. Pursuing a passion makes me feel childlike…wise…ageless.

4. If I sleep with my chin up in the air, I won’t get a wrinkled neck. (This has yet to be proven.)

5. Easier said than done…really is.

6. As I strive for enlightenment, I sometimes settle for kindness and that, too, is no small thing.
