February 19--I'm Really Glad It Is Not Orange

There is hardly a more gracious gift that we can offer somebody than to accept them fully, to love them almost despite themselves.  --Elizabeth Gilbert

    What if snow wasn't white? I'm talking the new fallen stuff, not the dog-peed-on yellow or dirty brown/black old stuff. What if it was purple or lime green or rainbow? Certainly a sudden change of color would freak out everyone, but I think it is fun to ponder. 
    I know it is completely psychological, but because it is so dreadfully frigid outside, I am having trouble staying warm inside. I spent yesterday either in a hot bathtub or under many blankets with several layers of clothing and a revved-up heating pad. And I'm usually too warm! 
    I've had two good laughs lately. I've offered to do a simulated patient gig on Friday afternoon, and the organizer was looking for "lean" rather than "squishy" people. She stated that "squishy" is not a medical term. She picked me over two other available "squishy" folks. This made me laugh because I would definitely place myself closer to the "squishy" end of the spectrum. I guess the other two were more "squishy" than me. We'll see how this goes... stay tuned. 
    The other laugh... I was playing pickleball and there was a debate on the rules. The person who was ragging at me shall be called in this narrative "Airhead." Airhead would not let the issue go and get on with play. She offered to have a "better" player in our group explain it to me. I guess since I think she is an Airhead, she thinks I am dense. And as it turns out, I read the official rules later, and we were both correct on two different items up for debate. I get such a laugh when someone blatantly thinks I'm stupid. And I am well aware that sometimes I am stupid!!!
    Life requires a sense of humor!!!!!!!!!
