The “Ta” lady &”Other” women in my life.

Last night Trace and I were talking about of course, women, it’s our favorite topic! He is head over heels in love with Michelle. “I didn’t know it really could be like this man” I laughed at him and told him it only gets better but be prepared for some hard times too.
He’s very aware of the hard times; I’ve witness him going through two of those. After we talked about his woman and mine it made me think, “Wow, I really know a diverse set of women” each of them having complex personalities. Some I’ve known all my life and then some I’m getting to know each day.

First is my Mom, she’s my conscious, back bone, courage or what makes me “me”. She’s the one that taught me the rules of how to treat a lady, how to dance with one and how to dress for one. When to really prove you are listening to others and show its ok for men to care, so much she’s taught me.
G, she’s the one that taught me kindness in a slow drawn out southern way that it always doesn’t have to be in a grand scale. To laugh at my mistakes, have the backbone to make more, the love of food, and the hate of tomatoes.
Amy, she’s given me, of course love and concern and ideas and compassion no one has ever shown me. She has given me the power to love again and move on with my life as well.
Lori, that’s my little character, the fun side, and my youth. She brings mischief in my life again and surprises, along with love and how to pamper a lady. Taught me patience and learning more from that “little kid” every day, than I could from any adult.
Beth, my Ex. Yes, she’s even taught me things like: you can’t let people rule your world or push you around with bully remarks. That people will go out of their way to do something crazy to get their way. It’s ok to let go.
Wanda, that love can really last a lifetime if you let it and beyond, how she still thinks of her dearly departed husband till this day. Children, need and will have a mind of their own and it’s ok to let them fall. How some women are only out for one thing and when they think they found it they really didn’t want it.
Bee, hard work always will bring good results and more so if you take pride in it, check and rechecks is the key. Having a cute smile and twinkle in your eye might get you somewhere but to work for it means more.
Diane, being single isn’t always so hard or lonesome as long as you have good friends and family and a great sense of humor.
Cari, having a family of all girls isn’t so bad if you can get a handle on them and some times fears just come natural.
Dee, that we all have a dark side and try to keep it hidden, even the hurts and letdowns in our lives. Sometimes life gives you hurdles and you feel overpowered to conquer them.
Jess, that you can love someone utterly goofy and not care. That patience and forgiveness on the young and naive makes you more attractive.
Julie, who can love someone so much like me and tolerate him, bring two beautiful children in the world and still have the sanity to want more.
Jenny, we all make mistakes and sometimes it’s harder to let go and give up. That anything can happen to you, it’s not a safe world out there.
I could go on and on about “other women” I known or met, some I haven’t thought of in years, some I’d rather not. They all have made some sort of impact in my life and helped me make decisions and changed my life’s path in one way or another. This is a short list of the females that have put an effect on my life, maybe Friday I can hit on the males?
