You do know that International Women’s Day is not about celebrating women, right?

Can you help me understand? I believe if we’re celebrating rights, whether civil, social, political, or religious, and in different parts of our world,and the accomplishment of women, then that’s my celebration 🥰

I think your post was wonder and full of love for women. We have achieved a lot but today we should all sing “Bread and Roses” and remind all women -and all men- that we are far from gender equality.

I agree 💯! Thank you for this thoughtful response and support. I do recognize the distance we have to go. I just chose, in my post, to recognize women,…not our equality or lack thereof, but what achievements have made that have impacted my reality today. For my granddaughters,…may we keep bridging the gap. I appreciate you! 💕

Celebrating women! I’m glad to be a woman, and I celebrate YOU Karla. You are a hero to so many. You are kind and thoughtful. You always think of others first. You are fiercely strong, resilient even on your worst days, have a great sense of humor, and manage to stay optimistic in the worst of times. And as though that isn’t enough, you are beautiful, inside and out!
Yeah, I applaud you my friend. Even the “Fat Lady” is applauding you, which isn’t easy for her since I still have my foot in her mouth so she can’t sing. Lol!
You could be the poster girl for International Women’s Day.
Keep the faith Karla. Hugs to sweet Miss Finley. Ginger

Thank you kind ladies, gratefully received and appreciated. I too am very grateful in suffering a coffee by the beach this morning while watching the locals enjoying the surf. And I think Fin would have loved the bush turkeys wandering around the barbecue areas trying to steal a morsel or two as well. Take care, much surf energy coming your way 🤣❤️🙏🏽

Happy Thursday (a.k.a. “Friday Eve” to those still working). That quote from Mother Teresa is always piercing to me, challenging me to be more of a bearer of Christ’s love for everyone I meet. The Anne Frank quote is new to me, and powerful. That young girl had a sense of eternity about her, one that is evident in these words. The ultimate truth of what she stated is fully realized only in the eternal realm.
Great post, Karla. As usual. Thanks! Nice hat, too!

I’ll take the girl power and hugs any day, Marcela! Thank you for reading and your kind thoughts and support! I’m taking it one day at a time…one hour at a time…some days, one minute at a time! I’ll have several hours of “minimal” pain, a couple of doozie hours, some nights great sleep, other nights, not much. It probably describes the life of most of us! I appreciate your well wishes and support, my friend.
