Silly girls...yep we are.

Years ago...
and many lost pounds ago...
there was a tribe of silly girls...
they didn't live together...
it would have been too silly...
really.
They did get together every once in a while...
either at the beach..
or in the mountains..
since both were equally available...
They had contests...
this one had something to do with
slippers....I believe.
Everyone Won...
No one was allowed to loose..
as life has a way of taking it's toll on
people.. and the silly girls
(also known as the "Chick's Kick")
didn't want life to have it's way
with any of their weekends together.
Their weekends were
twice a year, in the beginning...
Then things started to interfere with the weekends....
children....husbands...parents...illness....
that last one has had a particularly egregious influence on
the silly girls....as they don't really feel very silly anymore.
You see...one of the silly girls died of cancer.
She fought with all her might....
she fought it for over five years...
she fought it for herself, her children, her parents,
and for her silly girls....
but she lost.
Now the silly girls can hardly
make it to Christmas dinner together....
they are all trying to deal with the loss
in their own ways....
some work too hard...
some cry, a lot...
some push the feelings aside...
and well,
some blog.

  3. We are getting to be that age, that stage, that place in life when friends are passing on and we are left to ponder.
