Surgery Update

After limping around the world for the better part of five years (the last two with an “elegant walking stick,” I will undergo hip-replacement surgery July 13. Dr. Bill Bowen at Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital in Willits, CA, is the surgeon and I’m very impressed with him and his ortho program. I plan to resume speaking appointments after the Labor Day weekend.

Point to Ponder

Be not disturbed at being misunderstood; be disturbed rather at not being understanding.  —Chinese Proverb

Too bad I didn’t know about this Chinese Proverb much earlier in life: those years when I felt like a complete misfit, when it seemed that no one in my family understood much of anything about me. From this vantage point, I now realize that I didn’t even understand myself. Consequently, it was a bit unrealistic to expect that others would—or even could. Fortunately, brain-function information has helped me to be much more understanding. Of myself. Of others. Of how different each brain is. And on the flip side, with some increased understanding on my part I now perceive how much alike we all are when you look beneath the outward trappings of clothing or skin tones or accessories or bank accounts or gender or culture or even education. Actually, what a relief! One of my goals as I move through the aging process (gracefully, I hope!) is to increase my understanding—of myself and of others.
