Strong women

I'm a fan of women. And this being the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I want to celebrate the Strong Woman. I like them. All different shapes and sizes. Some are thin and some are a little more healthy. And most of the women I know or associate with are strong.

Strong women are under appreciated by most of my male counterparts, but then, most men don't try to understand women. Notice I said understand not figured out. And strong women tend to threaten and intimidate most men, by doing nothing more than being strong. Not strong in the physical sense, though some are. Strong in the sense of self confidence and success in their lives.

I see people differently than most, I don't look at the outside so much but more at what goes on between the ears and behind the eyes. The eye's are the window to the soul. Take time to look into them and you can see the story there. The pain and joy are there as clear as day IF you take the time to look. What goes on between the ears is what makes people who they are. Some choose to be smart, others try to be smart and still others are just plain dumb as a bag of hammers.

Strong women are in all categories. Pretty or not. Intelligent or challenged, they all have that one little thing that makes them strong; they have spirit. A beautiful spirit that loves passionately, gives willingly and care unselfishly. They have a drive to be more than what they are and most do it well. This is what men don't understand. They don't like it when women are more successful than they are. It's a blow to that fragile thing called ego. It's a shame too. They miss out on a lot of happiness along the way. A lot of stories and a lot of friendships.

I have a lot of strong women friends, 2 are my best friends. They are still women but they know what they need to do and do it. I know of the insecurities they have and the daily battles they face. But they rise to the challenge, every day and very well! They are smart women. Learning daily and keeping the lessons in their hearts. Both are beautiful souls and would do anything they could to help anyone who needed help. Strong women do that.

There is more to life than a cold beer and reruns of NCIS. There is a world of all kinds of interesting things out there in this world. We all work harder now than we did a while back and energy is limited. But still, conversation is a gem that should be picked up and polished every chance you get! A conversation with a strong women will make you think and keep you on your toes! I like that kind of challenge and I enjoy the company of strong women.
