So as you can imagine, because I'm a woman I am at this very moment; typing this riveting piece, calming a baby, tending dinner, doing laundry, chasing a toddler, and making at least one man happy all while looking fab (one day a week at least, see "Bemusings: On clothes & accomplishments"). I'm nothing if not a multi-tasker.
On a more serious & positive (trying to make up for my vent sesh) note, here's what I've come to realize as of late:
If you are a woman, you are THE most intricate and complex creature God has made. How do I know this? Take a look at Genesis. He started simple: light. On, off, on, off. Then gradually more and more detail and grandeur until finally woman. The last of creation. After man, just saying. While I am in no way saying we are better, this way or that, I'm simply saying there's a reason men do not understand women. And while we may not understand men at times, I believe it's because we are created to be different reflections of God.
Let me crawl out of that intellectual hole and come back to the surface for a second (no pun intended, see connecting topic below).
One of my life goals is to age gracefully. I'm not sure what this process looks like yet. I assume it will entail authenticity, emotional maturity, and hair dye. That said, it's important to me not to chase something eternally out of reach. Certainly I do not think competing with a younger set is the goal; fairly sure youth always "wins" in this world. I'd like to be about far more without discounting beauty. There's freedom in removing yourself from competition and just being the best you.
More on this topic later...yours in heels,
