Comparisons

Hey, this 18 pound ham

is as heavy as my cat!

Who I am now

is different than who I was 5 years ago.

Stronger, braver, sure of myself

I haven’t lost

my kindheartedness.

Can’t say no, considerate, helping

I am realizing

sometimes I need to take a break.

Say no, take a nap, work stops at 4

I have learned

getting an M.d. in Education is hard.

Weekly assignments, quizzes, readings

I still

enjoy watching children grow.

Socially, academically, literally

I have become

more understanding.

Time, space, energy

I love

collecting animals.

Cats, dogs, fish, and once frogs

I’ve lost

loved ones.

Hey, this wine

really does taste like strawberry honey!
