The worth of a woman~

Yep, you may have seen this floating around the internet recently, but I decided to post it anyway.

Partly because I'm still trying to recover from burnout and partly because I sometimes forget (especially with the crap that's heaped on every day) that I have things to offer~

Men, this is in no way intended to detract from your worth. Since I've started dating men, I've met more men that have impressed me with their dedication to doing what's right, or raising their kids, or finding a balance between being masculine and also sharing their emotions - so, just take this at face value - a homage to women~





THE WORTH OF A WOMAN



One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take 'no' for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Datekrispy~

I am a datekrispy~

That's right - I'm burned out, sizzled, fried - completely over the whole dating scene right now!




Granted, this may have something to do with being at the end of a long semester. Iif you haven't seen my profile, I'll explain.) I'm a full-time grad student, I help teach a course, and I work part-time.

So, there's a chance that I'm a lifekrispy right now and my fatigue is just being channeled at the dating scene.

Either way, I finally have a Saturday off and I'm heading out - away to my cottage in the woods with no Internet or cable, or other distractions. Yes, I still have papers to write, papers to grade, and bills to pay - but I will be away from profiles, emails, IM's, come ons, let downs, and put offs.

I wonder how it is that I have well over 100 people visit my dating profiles and blogs each day and somehow, only the ones who are over the age of 50 or under 30 make contact? Oh, wait, let me correct that - one guy who was my age emailed to ask if I could come over and "relieve his boredom". When I referred him to my blog he came back and said that he enjoyed it but was still wondering if I was interested........wtf!?? It's like I have a "normal guy" filter on my email PREVENTING them from getting through!

I wish all of my fellow daters good luck. Enjoy your weekend and I hope you have at least one good date - or better yet, find the man or woman of your dreams.

As for me, I'll be stoking up the woodstove (yep, its still cold enough at night for a fire), sipping on a glass of wine and cuddling with my dog. Perhaps by Monday I'll be in a better place about this dating thing.

Peace out~

PS - I've submitted my newly coined term "datekrispy" to the Urban Dictionary - it has to be reviewed by the editors - I'll keep everyone updated on its progress.
