March 2, 2022:

Why did my bones break so easily? Little insect sticks of arms.

Not that it made me dainty. I took more bicycle tumbles and football slams than ten kids my age.

It's only in late middle age that I feel the need for careful mindfulness. To not fall, to not collide with objects. Especially, to not fall.

Until fragility as life style turns me into my mother.
