I love the line about my body being my own. It’s a hard won concept. I’ll be 60 in May and I’m really working on it. Old lady hands (and neck) and all.

Another thought about hands: I am an illustrator, and on occasion I have been asked to draw hands for book cover artwork. I use my own hands as reference, and twice I have been told that the hands I've drawn have been too masculine, and to make them look more delicate/feminine. I just want to scream "BUT THESE ARE WHAT REAL HANDS LOOK LIKE!" Apparently women's fingers should be dainty little wafer sticks.
