The women in my life

You are not going to believe how long I have been sitting here wondering what to be grateful for today! And all the time it was staring me in the face...

Today I am grateful for all the wonderful women in my life! (You know who you are!!)

And you ARE wonderful...WE are wonderful!

It's no easy job, being a woman...just ask a man! We have to pluck our eye-brows, shave our legs, dye our hair, shop for hours, chat over endless cups of coffee, cry at weepy films, cry at romantic films (heck, cry at any film we want to cry over...who's going to dare try to stop us!!), complain about our hormones, complain about the lack of them, wear high heels, wear tights (must have been a male invention, they're so bloomin' awkward!), wear make-up! But, of course, that's all after we've got down to the business of looking after the house, the grocery shopping, the kids, the animals, the men-folk, the lunches, the dinners...oh, and got ourselves organised for work!!!

And we do it all with grace, love, elegance and dignity!

So here's to my very special Mam, my darling Meggie, my wonderful sisters, my amazing nieces, my terrific grand-niece (I know...I don't look old enough!), my lovely nieces-in-law, my fantastic mum-in-law and sisters-in-law, my brilliant friends, both in Ireland and Scotland, my aunts and female cousins, my cuddly-wuddly pussy-cat, Gorgeous.....did I miss anyone??? I love you all, and am glad to be part of the sisterhood!

**No men were hurt (I hope) in the making of this blog!**

Gratefully yours.
