Calender Girls

I'm sitting here watching "Calendar Girls"... well, actually it's just over. I loved that movie the first time I saw it - probably close to 5 years ago. What an amazing display of comfort with your own body, a complete embrace of aging gracefully and loving who and what you've become. Each character bringing her own unique qualities that make her beautiful.

I think the thing I enjoy the most, though - is the independence I see in each of their spirits. Their knowing that they are complete in themselves. It's a journey and I hope it doesn't take me 60 years to get to that point. I've just recognized this silent strength in myself... and I love her.

I've spent the last 15 years of my life trying to nurture men. Most of those men have had some sort of mommy complex or another. Some wanting me to wipe their ass (figuratively speaking of course) and others wanting me to spank it (their ass that is.) Now - it's time for me. I've tried to make men love me through my nurturing nature. It's so true that everything that happens to you - you draw to yourself. I put out there that I love to nurture... and I sure get to! LOL!!

And now - a new chapter begins. This chapter entitled, "This One's For The GIRL." The next chapter in my life - it's about me. I don't think I'll ever be able to be completely selfish. It's not in my nature. But I can and I choose to live my life for the betterment of me.

What have you done for you lately? Think about it - and if you have to think too hard. Do something today. A bubble bath, a pedicure, some time with just you and a book... something, anything. As long as it's for you.

Blessings - this day and always.
