Comment on Let Me Through, I’m a Grandmother! by Mercy

Judy, you pull off such insightful and provocative posts filled with questions that only the eternally youthful, optimistic and curious can pose!!
For one thing, “fear and trembling” are not quite the adjectives or nouns (?) I’d associate with you by any means – and even before you became a grandmother! – even so I’ll let you have that last line – it does seem to be more apt – ‘for the heart is hard though the body be soft’ (another rendering of “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”?).
While I have yet to scale that bright new frontier of grandmotherhood, I have to admit that I too find myself more often than not these days, carrying on with the bravado of age – got it by just trading in the bravado of youth ! – such a sense of freedom in not caring what “they” will say, or “they” will think – just being yourself, and doing things the way you think you’re meant to do it!
