Women have a way of banding together to support one another. I'm not a guy, so I can't speak to what y'all do. Guys are great, I love um, especially when I have a really, really, really hard jar to open.My friend, Julie Higby, bought me a motorcycle!! (see this post for the story why)
She shot right up my favorite friends list. Julie wrote:
Angie,
I heard you decided against buying a motorcycle so thought I would
buy one for you. .... Stick this card up in your garage somewhere, at least you can brag you have a motorcycle at home.
Julie
How AWESOME is that?!
You bet my new motorcycle is going to be prestigiously placed in my garage. (that's 'gare-raj' as Julie says, crazy Aussie)
Julie you ROCK!!
Women are amazing. You give so much of yourself, sacrificing your needs before others, compromising when you should not, triumphing against life's challenges and pushing yourself to reach your dreams. The road you take is long, hard and at times lonely. In the end, you know to look around at where you came from, see what you have endured and you should be proud.
Take a moment and reflect upon what you are proud about yourself. This is not about what your kids/grandkids did.This is about YOU.
Simple self pride.
It's OK to dabble in this deadly sin.
"Everything in moderation," is what I believe.
What three women are you proud of?
... ya need to go tell them.

I am proud of myself. (There you have it, a little dose of self pride!)
I am proud of my sister for surviving as an employee of Owens Corning for over 30 years. She just landed a new job in inside sales.
I am proud of my niece. She is an awesome Spanish teacher who recently won Technology Teach of the Year (state of Ohio level) and University of Toledo Alumna Young Educator of the Year.
I am proud of my mom. She is the most independent 79-year-old woman I've ever known.
