I am blessed to have amazing women in my life. I like to call them real women.
When I am around a real woman I . . .
. . . know who I am.
. . . can eat what I want without wondering if they think I'm a pig.
. . . can pick up conversations from forever ago without the small talk.
. . . can talk about potty-training and gospel topics in the same breath.
. . . am not embarrassed to cry.
. . . laugh a lot.
To me a real woman is someone who . . .
. . . knows who they are.
. . . has goals that they are always working towards.
. . . makes others feel good without putting themselves down.
. . . loves being a mother and desires it more than anything.
. . . will drop anything just to visit with a friend even for a short time.
. . . is willing to admit faults and weaknesses without wallowing in self-pity.
. . . laughs heartily.
. . . bless my life.
I like that. I'd like to think I'm a real woman but I'm sure I am guilty of doing some of those things I shouldn't... but I am trying. Which is all we can do right? Since we're on the topic, I thought I would tell you that I really look up to you and appreciate your friendship. Thanks for always letting me blabber to you in the mothers lounge :)
