I AM WOMAN

I AM WOMAN. ...the truth is, I find myself really funny. I laugh the most when I am by myself, it maybe why I enjoy my own company so much.     

 Being a woman is supposed to be difficult and the aging process a drag. Yet, the older I get, the more I realize the power in enjoying who I am. I find that I laugh more I am aware that joy is fleeting and I don't feel sad at its passing. I value the special people who are true in my life no matter how long or how fleeting the acquaintance.  I realize the power in even a whisper light lifting of my spirit by another beautiful spirit. I refuse to let those who don't matter hang around and spoil my joy. I respect and accept that I will never be good enough for everyone. I love, when I am privileged to do so.

 I am aware I am not the most beautiful but u know what? I am beautiful! No doubt about it. The sound of my voice, the look of my eyes, the compassion of my soul. The upward lilt of my chin, the roundness of my hips, the strength to calm in my laughter. It is all me and still counting, hmmm. I am woman. I am beautiful. There is none like me.                         

 Did I remember to add that I give joy? And even as I say this the laughter bubbles up from deep within me because joy multiplies as its given out. I am woman. Beautiful, sensual, sexual and the world is incomplete without me! RITA AJU
