Just Be You

---

This old gal…

Went to Subway…to get some sandwiches to go…the woman next in line…was apparently feeding her husband…the same thing for lunch…about the same age…she was stunning…all put together…cute green khakis…striped knit top…one of the trendy puffer vests…makeup…

This old gal…adorned in Old Navy joggers…t-shirt…flowered socks…black Merrills…and a Columbia Jacket that no way complimented the ensemble…felt a pang…

Questioning her wardrobe…wondering if she should try to be more classy…if it’s possible for her to be more classy…maybe tomorrow…she should try…to be more classy…like this woman…in Subway…

Came the dawning of a new day…a jaunt to Goodwill with that husband of mine…and classy me…was as classy as the Snake Farm t-shirt can make a woman of 60…

That pang…that little niggle of doubt…left behind with the conviction that it’s ok…to be me…comfortable…bright colored…humorous clothes wearing me…

This old gal can polish up when duty calls…but what’s more important than being classy…is loving who you are…enjoying who you are…and having fun…

Being you…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
