Yikes
I am one of those women that really loves being a woman. All of it. From the glamorous fashionista luxuries (I do love me some accessorizing and a sephora gift certificate) to the maternal, domestic goddess creative days where baking fresh bread and crafting for hours alone at the table are still not enough, to the brooding days of our lunar cycle where solitude and journal writing are a must. I actually took a course in college called Women and the Menstrual Cycle and loved every moment of it. I feel at home with my hormones and feel lucky to live each and every day as a woman.

That being said, today I'm not so sure.

Today I have cried in traffic and alienated coworkers with my frightening, bloated face. Today I have found something sad and wrong with every aspect of my wonderful, bountiful life. Today I am not grateful. Today I am someone that I don't even enjoy being with.

I know that there's nothing any of you can do about it, but I thought I would share.
