At some point in my life, I would like to feel like a princess. When I was a little girl, I loved fairy tales. Grimm's was a book I read over and over again. I used to create stories in my mind about daring deeds, and far away places. Fancied the thoughts of being rescued from my life to be whisked off to a special place for us. (whomever the other is)
I don't believe there have been many days in my life where I felt like a princess. Someone that was adored for just being myself. (no offense, smile) Oh well. It's not stopping me from living, and I don't feel left out of anything. I just wonder what it would be like. For just a day. To feel like someone else would cherish me the way I deserve to be. Maybe I should start with myself, and the rest will fall in to place.
At least it would be a start. Sort of melancholy today after such a fun weekend. *back to reality*
It is a nice feeling, one I've only experienced a couple of times. But I think you're on the right track when you say you should start with yourself. Things usually do fall into place after that....
ReplyDeleteKarma: Its tough to do when you are a single mom. Not many minutes left at the end the day for pampering oneself.
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head, My Mel. Cherish yourself first. To do otherwise is a dishonor to your higher being AND it's behavior that any partner will copy. Not good.
ReplyDeleteI often long to feel like a prince, but usually I wind up feeling like a restroom attendant at the palace.
ReplyDeleteC: I am really working on that this year. I find that it is difficult to accomplish somedays, but I am learning and changing behaviour.
ReplyDeleteLBB: well, you are the prince of the restroom then! :lol: :hug:
((hugs))
ReplyDeleteIve been sort of down lately too. I am really missing my family in MI.
If I win the lottery tomorrow, Ill come out to CA and we'll BOTH be princesses for a day or longer....
I still LOVE the nuns on the beach photo.
Ya know, it's really unfair for the princess thing to be given to us as an option when we're little girls. LOL I know exactly how you feel.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't want to eat that poison apple tho. *shudder* ;o)
OK, one more thing re: the princess. A friend of mine just emailed me this and I couldn't resist. ;o)

This should have been read to us when we were little:
Once upon a time
~~~~~~~~
in a land far away,
~~~~~~~~
a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess
~~~~~~~~
happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a lovely meadow near her castle.
~~~~~~~~
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: " Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
~~~~~~~~
One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am
~~~~~~~~
and then, my sweet, we can marry
~~~~~~~~
and set up housekeeping in your castle
~~~~~~~~
with my mother,
~~~~~~~~
where you can prepare my meals,
~~~~~~~~
clean my clothes, bear my children,
~~~~~~~~
and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. "
~~~~~~~~
That night,
~~~~~~~~
as the princess dined sumptuously
~~~~~~~~
on lightly sauteed frog legs
~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine
~~~~~~~
and onion cream sauce,
~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself:
~~~~~~~~
I don't freakin think so.
C: that is AWESOME!!! thank you! so many days, i am fortunate to be single. i tend to forget that sometimes. :giggles:
