My daughter Eleanor made me see myself in an entirely new light.

Instead of (with ample justification, I must admit) teasing me for the outfit I’d pulled together to help keep me warm, she said with admiration, “You look like Han Solo!”

Who, of course, is one of the intrepid heroes of the Star Wars saga.

That’s right, I looked like Han Solo.

Has anyone ever said something that made you see yourself in an entirely new way? Words matter.
