I used to read the Yellow Pages! For fun! I'd awaken before the sun and start reading on weekends. The saddest thing for me now is
I'm slowly realizing my now deceased Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother had similar characteristics and how their life may have been different had they known. So many odd moments in my life just keep pinging and answered by this. I'm still grappling with it, although embracing it more day by day. Letting myself understand the things I wanted and wished and worked for so badly will NOT happen. I'll never "get" what is so obvious and natural to others.
