If you are interested in writing a post ...Hi Marge. If you are interested in writing a post for the Identity in Balance series, I'd love to have it! I really appreciate the way that you're looking at identity at something that changes over time, and--in the case of ability--perhaps quickly and against our will. I have an email button at the top of the blog, and I'm at balancingjane [at] gmail [dot] com.

Not possible, som...I am a Christian and a Democrat. Not possible, some folks say. Yes it is. Jesus was a brown-skinned socialist who healed people. Cool. I don't have brown skin and am not a socialist, at least not in the voting place. Even at church I am definitely in a minority. At my age (72) I have been struggling with identity crises left and right. I was forcibly retired from being a precinct chair by the stupid redistricting which should be done by machine or a non-political group, but that is another story. I have cancer. Do I want to live or die? Is this a "Christian" or a Democratic party issue? Today I realized after a summer spent mostly in doctors' offices and hospitals, I want to live. My lack of strength takes away the gardening identity. Cooking a small meal is difficult. (Used to I'd invite everyone I saw over and cook for all of them.) But I keep scrambling to maintain a viable identity. Hope you are too. And my email is not othermother6. That is obsolete.
