Shrinkage

And for the record: I noticed this morning, when I was walking behind Mom into the dining room, that she is significantly shorter than she was two weeks ago, before I went to NYC.
Two weeks.
People can shrink in two weeks?
You know what it makes me think of? (And I'm certain this is NOT a new idea. Just new to me.) It makes me think of the fetal position, and how we start out in that position, become more and more upright as we mature, then become more and more "down-right" as we age and sort of revert back to the fetal position.
I love it when life hits you square in the face one of those "full circle" things.
