Aging

I am not aging gracefully.
Aging for me has been an unsettling experience.
Remember the story of the grasshopper and the ants.
Shamefully I admit I am the grasshopper.
I wish I listened more.

 

Wisdom

I am surrounded by wise women but unfortunately that wisdom does not always sink in!

 

Worry

I worry even in my sleep.

 

I Wish

I wish I could wish!

 

Time

I run circles around myself
but I never seem to catch up.

 

Medicine

Sometimes the medicine is better than the doctor.

 

Diagnosing

People who don’t know what ADD/ADHD are believe the patient is the problem.
