My am walking on the left.

Linnea is absolutely reliable in identifying her right and left now. Other people's are still hard but hers is almost instinctive at this point.

I still have to think hard every time I need to say right or left.

Hunh. It never makes sense to me when people say to turn keys or screws or taps right or left. "do you mean turn the top to the left, or the part closest to me, or what?" Clockwise and counterclockwise work for me.

Yup, me too. I *know* which way is clockwise because I can almost instantly visualize the face of a clock. For left and right I have to think about which hand I hold a pen in, though now I suppose I could try to learn that my wedding ring is on my left hand (apparently that's how they taught the WACs to march during WW2). But I'm slow enought to figure out 'right' and 'left' that I use "your side" and "my side" when I'm a passenger in a car and giving the driver directions.
