Girlfriends

When Gini, Ginny, Vicki, Joyce and I got together last summer to plan our great gettaway, we had a great time. Two thing really struck me as we chatted. First, as I looked at each one, I saw the face of my young college friend, no changes at all over the 40 years. I knew however, looking at myself, time does change our appearance --- what we see with our eyes. At that moment I realized-------time doesn't change what we see with our heart.
Second, as we laughed and planned, Ginny pipes up " Do we have to lose weight to go on a cruise?" The answer , of course, is NO!!!!!!!!!!
We are who we are------ Nothing more . Nothing less. Hallelujah!!!!!
I thought I would post this poem that Judy Thorsen Enchlemayer sent out to us .
Be encouraged, we are all blessed 60's Chicks. I see you with my heart

Some one will always be prettier
Someone will always be smarter
Some of their houses will be bigger
Some will drive a better car
Their children will do better in school
And their husbands will fix more things around the house
So let it go, LOVE YOU, love your circumstances
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart
And the most highly favored woman on your job, may be unable to have children
The richest woman you know, has the house, the car , the clothes ------
Might be lonely
The word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing'
So, again, LOVE WHO YOU ARE
Look in the mirror in the morning, smile and say
'I am too Blessed to be Stressed, too Annointed to be Disappointed!'
Be BLESSED, Ladies We ARE the 60's Chicks

Thanks, Judy for this encouragement
