She's back

Wondering where, just where I've been? Running to catch my breath. I can answer. Our Cinderella football team is 8-2. Playing in the first round this Friday night. There is competition cheerleading, gymnastics, soccer, work (a small amount), cooking, cleaning. I sit here in my Gap Long and Lean jeans. Size 6. I love them. Especially after today when someone told me how great I looked in a pair of jeans. It shocked me and stopped my thoughts for a moment. I remember walking dowm the sidewalks in college and hoping to turn guys heads around for a second look. It made me feel good, pretty, wanted and desirable. I realized nothing has really changed. The compliment made my heart race. I felt lighter on my feet. I felt pretty, even at 44. I laughed. A simple compliment as I walked down the hallway to work. I realized how much I loved these jeans at this moment. I will definitely buy more. So what's the scoop to enjoying life after 40? To still walk down the sidewalk and turn a few heads. To see my green eyes clearly instead of the lines. To laugh at a joke. To let my eyes twinkle with romance. To ask for what I need and know what I want. To carry on a conversation with all intellects and make them think about who I am. To let people see right through me and that I have a heart. To look for love in all the right places. Change my make-up to soften the age. Smile when walking in a crowd. To listen to a story with the intent of responding. Wear soft cotton jamas to snuggle at night. Never afraid to say I am hurt or scared. I'll buy more of these jeans one day. I'll walk with a step hoping to still turn a head or two.
