Two Sides Would Be Wonderful

Some people had two sides; Natalia had at least six or seven. Attempting to nurture all of them simultaneously was impossible. She tried to encourage one side at a time. Other sides waited their turn; some were stamping their feet. Having two sides would be a relief, and a breeze, she thought.

Unfortunately at this age, every one of my other sides has its own tricks, like putting my glasses in the fridge and heaven knows what she's done with the hearing aids! Elizabeth

I know what you are talking about. I put something down and it is "in plain sight" but not in my plain sight.

Hmm...I wonder how many sides I have??? I never thought about this before. I know of one...who I really am. Maybe one other...who I'd like to be. Can you think of any more for me???

I have to admit you have a lot of sides you have forgotten you have - your baby side, your early childhood side, your son to a mother side, your son to a father side, your educational side, your husband side, your father side, your minister side, your poetic side, your neighborly side.
