So this week has been about the
woman. Her essence, her strengths, her weaknesses, and opportunities. We
celebrate, because there’s usually so much to cry about…
I was feeling especially weepy
this day; having indulged in a brief fling (that I hoped…*dramatic eyeroll*)
that had just abruptly ended. Strong woman that I am (have to be), I got up
that morning, took my time, with my brushes and paint pots, and hoped the
bright smile I also painted on, wasn’t as brittle as I felt.
I stepped into the office, and my
girls… God bless them girls. Compliments and hugs accompanied their morning
greeting. “Gosh Girl! You look awesome!” and they crowded in for a chat. With
some sixth sense they seemed to know just what my heart needed. Some girly
giggle about cute nonsense, some reaffirmation of my beautiful essence, and
loads and loads of love.
I constantly hear, about how
women, tear each other down and apart, but I also know that no woman can go
very far without girlfriends. Women, we understand ourselves, our challenges
and idiosyncrasies. We understand that sometimes a rant, just means we need to
let a little steam off, get some attention and feel loved. We understand that a
tantrum is simply a girly test to see if we’ve got relevance. And we know the
deep screams of pain, and hurt that our silence hides.
So today I celebrate my Golden
Girls. My Sisters, and Girlfriends. Strong, Beautiful Women who have got me
through trying times, cried with me, put up with me, drank with me, and
Conquered with me. “…a woman shall encompass a man – Jeremiah 31:22”
To my Golden Girls – We rule our world.
D2AGE.
