I was chattin' with my chiropractor today, as he rearranged my back.
I was telling him about someone I know that I don't bother to argue with, because they are rather strong-minded.
"Mmm," he said. Then he paused. "Of course - so are you."
I paused.
"Yup," I said. "I am. But I choose my battles."
"On your back please," he said. I turned.
"You," he said thoughtfully, "have a very strong sense of self. You know who you are."
"Yup," I said. "I do."
"That can be a rare thing, especially in women," he said.
"Yup," I said. "It is."
Arms over the head, one more crack.
"You must have good genes," he said.
"Yup," I said. "I do."
And that was that. I may have a strong sense of who I am, with strong opinions, but I was fresh out of words to express what those opinions might be.
Fortunately, me and my chiropractor - we think the same, so he already knows anyway.
