FOR WOMEN ONLY




A Prayer For Angels
For They Are The Women That We Love

I prayed for Angels to guard you night and day
I prayed they would hover and keep harm away
If you hear the swish of wings or feel a gentle touch
I know God heard my prayer today and loves you very much

Mid-life is when you go to the doctor
And you realize that you are now so old,
That you have to pay someone to look at you naked

The good news about mid-life is that the glass is still half-full
Of course,
The bad news is that it won't be long before your teeth are floating in it

Mid-life women no longer have upper arms
We have wingspans
We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts
We are flying squirrels in drag

Mid-life has hit you when you stand naked in front of a mirror
And can see your rear end without turning around

You know you are getting old when you go for a mammogram
And you realize it is the only time
Someone will ask you to appear topless in film

You know you've crossed the mid-life threshold
When you're in the grocery store
And you hear a Muzak version of "Stairway to Heaven" in the Produce Department

Mid-life is when you bounce a lot
But you don't bounce back
It's more like Splat!

Mid-life brings the wisdom that life throws you curves
And that you're now sitting on your biggest ones

It's very hard to "get jiggy with it" in mid-life
Jiggly, yes; jiggy, no.

Mid-life is when your 1970s Body-by-Jake now includes Legs-by-Rand McNally
More red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of the state of Wisconsin

Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream
"Listen, honey, even the Roman Empire fell, and those things will too!

Mid-life can bring out your angry, bitter side
You look at your latte-swilling, beeper-wearing know-it-all teenager
And think, "For this I have stretch marks?

Midlife is when you start to repeat yourself
Ad your chins follow suit

Midlife is when you realize that if you were a dog
Yu'd need a control top flea collar

Mid-life is when your memory really starts to go
The only thing you still retain is water

You become more reflective in mid-life
You start pondering the "Big Questions"
What is life?
Why am I here?
How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

A Woman's Strength

Women have strengths that amaze men

They carry children

They carry hardships

They carry burdens

They hold happiness, love and joy

They smile when they want to scream

They sing when they want to cry

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous

They fight for what they believe in

They stand up for injustice

They don't take "no" for an answer
When they believe that there is a better solution

They go without new shoes so their children can have them

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend

They love unconditionally

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage

Their hearts break when a friend dies

They have sorrow at the loss of a family member

Yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal broken heart

Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes

They'll drive
Fly
Walk
Run
Or e-mail you to show how much they care about you

The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

Women do more than just give birth

They bring joy and hope

They give compassion and ideals

They give moral support to their family and friends

Women have a lot to say and a lot to give

Always Have A Dream

Forget about the day when it's been cloudy
But don't forget your hours in the sun
Forget about the times you've been defeated
But don't forget the victories that you've won

Forget about mistakes that you can't change now
But don't forget the lessons that you've learned
Forget about misfortunes you encounter
But don't forget the times your luck has turned

Forget about the days when you've been lonely
But don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen
Forget about the plans that didn't work out right,
But don't forget to always have a dream

A Fairy Tale For The Assertive Woman Of The New Millennium

Once upon a time, in a land far away

A beautiful, independent, self assured princess
Happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle

The frog hopped into the Princess' lap and said
Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome Prince
Then an evil witch cast a spell upon me

One kiss from you,
However, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am
Then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle
My Mother will live with us also
Then you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes
You can also bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so

That night
On a repast of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce
She chuckled to herself and though:

I Don't "Freaking" Think So
