KNOWING OUR SELVES

Bravo! Psychologists now recognize that we harbor more than one self. I’m sure many people are aware of it, especially working mothers.

Being an only child, I was (and still am) very introspective. I have always had selves for different situations (work, social, child rearing, etc.). As I enter the final decades of my life, I’m sure I will need another self or two to cope with whatever lies ahead.
