- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Childhood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Childhood doesn't have to be perfect, and children don't have to be beautiful. From a bit of grit may grow a pearl, and if pearl production doesn't materialise, the outcome will still be preferable to the shallowness of vanity.
- Grief

- Nov 07, 2020
In grief, after even the happiest of relationships, we go over things again and again.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think my mother was baffled by me. We were polar opposites. She was shy and retiring. I was over-fond of the limelight. Many times in my life, I was conscious of embarrassing her with my carrying on.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother was a fastidious and orderly homemaker. I was the messy but creative type. I picture her following behind me through life with a damp rag and an air of exasperation.
- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know my parents loved me - they certainly did everything they could for me - but displays of affection were kept on a distinctly low flame.

- Energy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Caring burns a lot of fuel - psychological and physical, too, if any lifting is involved. The energy tank is soon emptied, and the toll caring takes is well documented. It's called carer burn-out.
- Heart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Dementia is quite unlike cancer or heart disease or any of those other conditions where you bargain with God for a cure or even just a bit more time.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once, every woman owned a small mirrored compact, and it was considered normal - sophisticated even - to flip it open to discreetly check for things like nose-glow or lipstick smudge.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People invade your space and offend your sensibilities because, to be plain, they couldn't care less about you.
- Legs
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was the Victorians who covered the piano legs and drew a heavy curtain over what a lady got up to in her boudoir.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always jealously guarded my feminine mystique. I've been married twice, and neither of my husbands has ever seen me put my face on.
- Doors
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My husband is leaving me. No dramas, no slammed doors - well, OK, a few slammed doors - and no suitcase in the hall, but there is another woman involved. Her name is Dementia.
- Nov 07, 2020
None of us wants to be reminded that dementia is random, relentless, and frighteningly common.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
