Oh my gosh, this is PERFECT: "Every human body is an ice cube on a countertop. There are no limits to the peril it faces at the whims of weather and randomness and other people’s actions. And even under the best circumstances, it’s not going to last forever." This is probably the best description I've ever seen, or ever will. Thank you so much for this, and for every other stellar thing you've written!!!
Thank you for the pep talk to a broken ankle. I feel the Not Even Forty's pain - almost literally! I fell in October on wet blacktop when it was raining and broke my stupid pinky finger on my dominant hand. And then I fell again in February on an uneven sidewalk and seriously bruised my ribs. My husband now thinks I'm just a person who falls. But I know I was just unlucky and both falls could have happened to anyone. Wishing speedy healing to Not Even Forty!
