10 Proofs of Adjustment

I like that when I walk into the café, the waiter immediately gets my order before I have a chance to ask for it.

I like that when people recognize me, they don’t just smile and wave and walk away—they sit and talk. For hours.

I like that when I deviate from my routine people notice and wonder why.

I like that I have so much to do I’ve started using a calendar again.

I like that I’ve become addicted to tea.

I like that there’s food in my (relatively clean) fridge.

I like that I fill hours with books and blanks pages.

I like that I laugh so much but my opinion is valued.

I like that it only takes a conversation with Mamma, a good meal and a little acknowledgement to pick me up.

I like life. A lot.
