Juneteenth. African Americans have always been a part of my life. My skin is white but so what! I’m also part Japanese and Hawaiian. On my refrigerator is an Emily Dickenson quote: “We turn not older with years but newer everyday.” I believe that – and now being of old age, that’s why I’m spreading myself so thin – but I won’t say too thin (to spare myself from typical self-degradation 😀 ). I’ve lived a lot of places and have assimilated a lot from each place. I don’t have biological children, but don’t feel childless. I’ve taught lots and lots of students and have cats and dogs! I lost my 15 year old pitbull recently. What a loss my household is feeling. She spread herself so thin, being devoted to me and my quirks. She also loved her 7 year old Great Dane mix-brother. The three of us fought for the living room chair. He stole it from me this morning. I’m writing this perched on a stool in the kitchen ❤️ .++
