I could not have said it better!
I found this yesterday and burst out laughing wanting to send it to all of my best girlfriends. Many of you have/are facing life-threatening illness/treatments, recovering from life-threatining illness/treatments, relationships, marriages, kids, careers, education and just the plain old wear and tear of living in this world right now.
This sums it up - this is the "pull yerself up by yer bootstraps and get over it". There is no self-help book, class, DVD, drug or drink that can take the place of well-placed lipstick or just a good joke with the good women who walk this world today. I am blessed beyond measure to know a whole world full of women who are standing tall with integrity and grace.
I commend all of you who have touched my life!
My friend Peter tells me that he just CAN'T resist kissing a woman wearing fresh lipstick - it took me a couple of attempts to get out the door before I figured this one out and decided that the only way to get him to the airport was to NOT wear lipstick!
Yeh - this is a bit on the "light" side but I'm ready for the sun and some of those lovely bulbs to burst through the rotting leaves to be a bright color in the midst of the gray!

My husband HATES lipstick. Not that I wear it that much (and didn't before I met him really). It was always more about the eyes for me.
Came over working through the Finding Water List. Nice to meet you!
Hi, I'm visiting you from Finding Water, just been reading a few of your posts. Your previous one "Thoughts - ending up with my cousin Dave" has left me in tears.
I agree we really should praise people whilst they are still alive.
Hope you are well.
Hello, just stopped by after finding you on the FW list. I like your story about Dave ... we should definatley praise people while they are alive. And I love your opening quote from HH Dalai Lama. Nice to meet you, E.
I am TOTALLY with you on this one. I spent my girlhood watching my mom and her friends put on their lipstick and there was something magic about it - like "now I am ready for whatever the world is going to throw my way." I couldn't wait to be able to do it myself, and I do several times a day. It's like a moment of thought and preparation for whatever is to come next. I totally get it!
Love -
Your twin :)
