I Now Understand – Vulnerable Women

lonely womanI am sure you have all seen the programs where an older woman has been conned out of her life savings by a man. I use to think how could that happen to women who are smart enough to save for a financially secure life. How stupid can one woman be?

That judgment was very wrong, since I have been going through this life changing event with my husband, I can see how it could happen.

When your husband is slipping away it is so lonely. Some days I really feel vulnerable and would just like a soft place to fall. I can see if these women are feeling this lonely how they could fall into this trap.

Just to be able to get rid of the pain and feel alive and loved would lead someone to want to believe. These con men really know how to play on that – it makes me sick when I hear or see how these women’s lives have been destroyed.

This is a strange blog post I know. I just hope that women can see how valuable they are at every age and not ignore the warning signs of someone taking advantage of their goodness and vulnerability.

I will never again judge someone who has been hung out to dry by a man who is a low-life scum playing with her emotions…    #UltimateBlogChallenge

Hot Older Women – Video

On a lighter note.

I just love this video – maybe because I identify LOL –  all women will love this video. Even my husband got a kick out of it!

Lyrics

Older Ladies by Donnalou Stevens

Well, I ain’t 16, not a beauty queen.
My eyes are baggin’ and my skin is saggin’,
And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me,
Then maybe that’s not love.

Well I ain’t 20 either and I don’t care neither.
My hair is gray and I like it that way.
And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me,
Then maybe that’s not love.

If you don’t think I rock, well we ain’t gonna roll.
If you don’t think I hung the moon, my hot just turned to cold.
If you want a younger model, I wish you well, sweet pea.
‘cause if you can’t see what it is you have,
Then you ain’t having me.

I got cellulite and achin’ feet,
And my thighs kinda jiggle when I giggle or wiggle,
And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me,
Then maybe that’s not love.

My tummy ain’t tucked or liposucked.
It’s a little poochy, but I still Hoochy Koochy,
And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me,
Then maybe that’s not love.

See, I’m no longer desperate. I’ll only have a man,
If he has the smarts to see how hot that I still am.
If you want a younger model, I wish you well, sweet pea.
If you can’t see what it is you have,
Then you ain’t having me.

Older ladies, older ladies, older ladies… are DIVINE!

Well I gotta chicken neck and I love it, by heck,
It makes a double chin whenever I grin,
And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me,
Then maybe that’s not love.

I got saggy breasts that droop from my chest,
Pert near down all the way to my nest,
And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me,
Then maybe that’s not love.

If you don’t think I rock, well we ain’t gonna roll.
If you don’t think I hung the moon, my hot just turned to cold.
If you want a younger model, I wish you well, sweet pea.
’cause if you can’t see what it is you’ve got,
You ain’t getting me.

Older ladies, older ladies, older ladies… are DIVINE!
Older ladies, older ladies, older ladies… what are we ladies? We’re DIVINE!

Surprised and Humbled

Little Girl With Pink Flowers Asters In Their Hands

Thank You Mom

Life is funny sometimes; we don’t always know the impression we leave on people we have known in the past. I connected with a friend from 35 years ago on Facebook (Yes 35!).  It was her 32nd wedding anniversary, and I congratulated her with, and I was at your wedding!

Her comment back was “We have been friends for a long time. I cherish those early days of working together. You taught me a lot …””

I was deeply touched, what could have I possibly taught her? When I asked,  she said – You’ve had tremendous heartache, but you smile and move forward, as did your mom – great examples…

To be put in the same category as my mom is unbelievable – she also told me I was one that never put judgement on people and was accepting. My mom was exactly the same way…

No one ever knows what impression they are leaving on people they meet.  I am humbled – to be compared to my mom,  it is such an honor.
