Because I'm A Woman

Posted by Margaret Shulock on September 9th, 2008

Because I'm a woman I do windows.

I never buy colored toilet paper.

I talk -a lot.

Because I'm a woman I appreciate a good hair day.

I love fireflies on a starry night.

I know how to hand launder silk.

Because I'm a woman I feed the dog.

I write letters and sign them with love.
Because life is too short not to.

I like curves better than straight lines.

Because I'm a woman I know how to disassemble a shop-vac.

I tend to apologize too much.

I like making people happy.
As long as they're easy to please.

Because I'm a woman I hate war.

I find tiny details fascinating.
Especially when they're about me.

I love Jane Austen, wildflowers and the moon.

Because I'm a woman I write a grocery list.
And sometimes I remember to take it with me.

I like sad songs.

I love the smell of horses and smoke.

Because I'm a woman I like beauty.
Especially in humble things like fungi, stones and toads.

I treasure the little things.

I worry too much.

Because I'm a woman I've been paid less on the job than the men I trained.

I recycle.

I love my country and my planet.

Because I'm a woman I hope for the best.

I've known a victim of domestic violence.

I vote.

Because I'm a woman I try to see both sides of an issue.

I know women who had illegal abortions.

I strive to live up to my principles.
And don't always succeed.

And just because I'm a woman the Republican Party thinks they can get my vote by adding a woman to their ticket??

NOT A CHANCE!!

I'm a retired teacher who is discouraged by our greedy government and the strength of the cultural/religious/superstitious traditions that surround me. Yesterday I cleaned the yard gathering compost for next year's garden and trimmed the apple tree (more...)
