What She Knows

One night, when my older daughter Elisabeth was about five, as her dad was serving dinner, he quite relentlessly was teasing her about eating tomatoes and bell peppers, neither of which she liked.

Finally, she stomped her little foot and proclaimed, "I know who I am, and I know what I want!"

I hope Elisabeth — now almost twenty-six and living in Japan — will always know who she is and what she wants.

I, too, want to know with all my being who I am and what I want!
