Difficult and Easier by Margret Wood

Margaret Wood Response to Miriam’s blog request 3/22/21

Difficult since I was young:

Keeping my room (now my office) neat

Knowing how I feel in emotional situations

Eating or drinking small amounts (ice cream when young, dinner and red wine now)

Procrastinating with important tasks

Polishing my shoes

Remembering important names and dates in any field

Taking time to read more

Understanding complex written directions for processes or putting things together

Becoming distracted

Easier now that I’m older:

Speaking up for myself

Doing the dishes daily, with ease

Meeting deadlines

Knowing what romantic Love is

Not gossiping, no little lies

Being intimidated by wealth, notoriety, men

Developing memory strategies

Decreasing self-consciousness

Caring for an animal
