I am more than you think I am
I may look like just another 71 year-old chubbette to some of you as body parts drop and gray invades my hair.
I assure you that inside I am a jock, a ballet dancer, a comedian, a mistress of the universe, your dream friend, and your worst nightmare.
I am woman.
Hear me roar, whine and whimper.
I am loyal as a junkyard dog and can hold your secrets in the vault of my mind.
I am a yogi, an adventurer, and a spy as I sit in the coffee shop watching the goings on of younger generations.
I have worn short dresses, high heels, flung my hair about and done the dance of flirtation.
I am not anybody’s mother or grandmother, yet I am an aunt, a great aunt, and a fairy godmother to a number of people.
You are worthy
What you cannot see from the outside is what is on the inside of this woman. I am a wounded child, a bitch, an impudent teenager, a lover, a fighter, a friend, and a soul mate.
What you can’t see from the outside is that I am blessed, and I know it.
I have cheated death more than once, I have adapted, and I have great friends and a husband who should be looked at for sainthood.
What you can’t see from the outside is that I am worthy of all these blessings, and I finally know it.
I hope you know that you too are worthy, not entitled but worthy.
I hope my fellow coffee housemates that you will not suffer through decades not knowing that you are worthy.
If you are hurting, know that you are worthhealing and it is never too late to have a dream, make a life, and increase your skills or jump out of an airplane!
