This One's for the Girls...

My cousin Sharon bought me a CD (Martina McBride's: Martina) pretty soon after Libby was born, so Icould hear the song "In My Daughter's Eyes". It's a great song. Makes me cry everytime I hear it. One of my other favorite songs on there is a song called, "This One's for the Girls". The lyrics go as follows.

"This one's for all you girls about thirteen

High school canbe so rough, can be so mean

Hold onto, on to your innocence

Stand your ground when everyone's giving in

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five

In a little apartment, just trying to get by

Living on, on dreams and spaghetti-o's

Wondering where you life is gonna go

This one's for the girls

Who've ever had a broken heart

Who've wished upon a shooting star

You're beautiful the way you are

This one's for the girls

Who love without holding back

Who dream with everything they have

All around the world

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about forty-two

Tossing pennies into the Fountain of Youth

Every laugh, laugh line on your face

Made you who you are today

This one's for the girls

Who've ever had a broken heart

Who've wished upon a shooting star

You're beautiful the way you are

This one's for the girls

Who love without holding back

Who dream with everything they have

All around the world

This one's for the girls

Yeah, we're all the same inside (same inside)

From 1 to 99

This one's for the girls

Who've ever had a broken heart

Who've wished upon a shooting star

You're beautiful the way you are

This one's for the girls

Who love without holding back

Who dream with everything they have

All around the world

This one's for the girls

Yeah, this one's for the girls"

I am so thankful to God for all the friendships that I have. I have been so blessed in so many ways by the "girls" in my life. I remember a time where I wasn't so keen on being a female. I thought it was better to be a man. I kind of thought we were stuck with the short stick. You know with hormones, periods, babies and menopause, who wants that, right? Over time God has changed my perspective and shown me how wonderful it is to be a woman and to be feminine. I am enjoying this gift more and more in my life. I rejoice in the way God designed me and in who He made me to be. What a blessing it is to be a woman. So to all you wonderful women out there may you enjoy who God created you to be! This one's for you!
