Today I had an epiphany (yes, I checked in the dictionary, and it was
definitely an epiphany!!).
For a good few years now I have been avoiding being classed as a "wifie"
with a passion bordering on obsession!
Even though I have two gorgeous sisters who have heartily
embraced wifiehood, (along with one who, like me, has staunchly opposed it)
I have always equated WIFIES with AULD and
fuddy-duddy, hence the reason I have refused to go there!
But, today, while walking along on my way to work
(along my favourite stretch of river)
it struck me that the essential truth of wifiedom
is FREEDOM!
Being a wifie means that you don't have to be what
anyone else expects you to be. It means doing things that make you happy.
It's about having wisdom and experience(!!!) and (mis)using them
whenever you please!
It means feeling the fear, and doing it anyway, because life's too short!
So, today I am grateful to have finally entered the
Wonderful World of Wifiehood.
(Yes, it's official!!)
They can take our firm boobs and our cellulite-free thighs.....
....but they will never take our FREEDOM!
Gratefully yours.

YES - you've got it!!
