Every morning that I get up, I listen to some songs to get my day started. I feel that the music I play definitely dictates my day otherwise I’d be a grouch and just want to stay home.  But one song I always put on is Raheem Devaughn’s “Woman”.  Not only has it got a good beat but it has a good vibe and feel to it, especially the message being delivered.  The message is just appreciating a woman,  and everything that she does. 

I only felt that I needed to blog about this since, really when was the last time, I, being a man have truly shown appreciation and thanked the women in my life that make my day pass by so easily?  Not for a while that’s for sure, probably because it’s the hardest and most awkward thing to say.  I’ve always taken for granted all the women in my life, and how do you go about thanking someone? 

Like just this month alone, a lot of the women in my life are going through things that may seem normal to them but harsh to me.  One example is a friend who is currently pregnant and is having constant morning sickness and then when her trimesters are over, the pain she’ll have to go through giving birth.  Another example is when women go through that time of the month, and can experience period pains etc (I’ve seen it happen to one of my ex’s and boy I was so helpless).  Last example is keeping up with appearances and falling to pressure with beauty shows and magazines.  The amount of makeup, waxing, shaving etc, all just to feel and look beautiful.  I could go on and on with the list, but I won’t, all I can say for now is thank you to all the women in my life.  My mothers (preferably the one here), my sisters, cousins, aunts, grandmothers, nieces, and friends, you are appreciated.  Thank you for enriching our lives and making this world wonderful.
