In the locker room at the gym today, a younger woman recognized me as a parent of some of her former students. She said, "Do you know what you told me back then?"
This had to be 10 years ago. Yet with just the slightest hesitation, I came up with it. "Socks."
"Yes," she said, and she didn't seem surprised that I got it. "To stay warm, change your socks during the day. I have an extra pair right here in my purse."
It seems like a trivial thing, but I suppose I could be remembered for worse. I helped someone stay warmer in these bitter winter temps...
Food for thought, yes? What will I be remembered for?
