I have trouble telling left from right to this day. So does my hubby. But, I learned a droite and a gauche in French in high school, and I have never had a problem instantly remembering which is which. Then I learned German in high school, and no problem remembering links = left and rechte = right. I think learning them later in life helped.
I am not embarrassed by much. I was embarrassed by my temper, but it is pretty much gone now. I feel embarrassed sometimes that I look healthy, and yet I cannot help out at church pot lucks, or in the Sunday School because of infections from the kids, and my immune system is so weak. I also get embarrassed riding my scooter, and then getting off and walking. I worry people think I am just lazy. Not that it is their business.
Wow! I found a lot of old lady things I am embarrassed about. I won't even get into those pesky, old lady chin hairs! LOL
