I cut open an avocado all by myself! Okay, I did it left-handed but I still did it! I tried with my right but the dumb knife (which I held lightly) would not penetrate the skin. And I opened the package of brats by myself, too (so what if I had to use my teeth to pull the resealable bag open). I was able to take the dishes out of the microwave with only a little tremble, no spills. The little container of pre-cut pineapple gave me some trouble, but I conquered it. I feel very satisfied.
It's amazing that I can be so gleeful about these simple things, but I am. And it's interesting how often I just naturally default to my left hand now. Not for everything, but the list is growing.
I had a great run this morning (you knew THIS was coming, right?). I ran the first part of it solo but met Kendall and Meghan at the halfway point so ran back with them. I was feeling so strong--I don't understand where all this energy is coming from but I'll take it. It's not making me faster but that's okay. I never was very fast anyway so speed isn't that important.
Including a couple pictures, courtesy of my first born. One is me, pre-flight.
The other needs no explanation.

I must let you know from experience, that left handed people are much cooler than right handed people.

Where was that "pre-flight" picture taken -- did you go skydiving or parasailing while in Europe???
