Always a "Little Lady"
I was always a "lady" as a small child, more so then now. I acted in a way, beyond my years with the please, the thank yous and the proper way to eat and dress. I was actually very condescending thinking back on others who did not display such traits, as if I were a Princess from a Royal Court that sat with the naves... I would try to correct their behavior and teach them proper ways... Yet I did not judge on a level other then, manners and style. I felt strange inside at times, thinking these are the poor, the unhappy, (okay this is going to sound weird), these are the ones that I have come to serve and must teach. Never really knowing how, but knowing then needed "manners", of sorts...
I always was and am now very "girlie", I enjoy being a girl as the song title goes. I like pretty things, girlie things. And I so think like a girl, this causing me many problems with my males counter parts, I usually place them in a position of wanting them to think like me, a woman, then getting disappointed in them when do, telling them "be a man". Men in my life never had an easy time of it... But my grandsons they are a different story, they own me, in them I see sweetness and love that I never saw or I never allowed other males to have.
So to my grandchildren be of good manners throughout your life make me proud. Be of good men and women as well. Remember as men you will never be able to think like a woman, so expect your hits from them in life. To my granddaughters go easier on men then I did, cut them a little more slack then your grandmother showed most of them. Yet as a woman do so in secret, let them think you are a mystery, even when you know your heart is an open book. I hope each and every one of you find one day your compliment, that some one that makes who you are complete. That one someone that was created just for you, to "fit" your space and no one else will do.
