Sisters of Satin- who are they?

Sisters of Satin are women between the ages of 35 and 65 who are not Red Hat Ladies. In fact, we don't ever want to be Red Hat Ladies. Nor are we bar hopping, bed hopping, jet-setters, now called set-jetters. We consider ourselves to be simply, "normal."

We're real women, with real lives, real thoughts, real feelings and real emotions. We have real situations in life, and we handle them all. Mostly we're singles, wives, divorcees, and/or mothers. Some of us are grandmothers. We have rich histories, for better or for worse. Most of us grew up in the 60's and 70's.

We all have goals to do something, be someone, or simply make it in this world of higher education, higher technology, higher expectations, and higher risks.

We all suffer disappointments, lack in some areas, broken relationships, plus pain and suffering. Yet, we trudge on, praying for wisdom, asking for blessings, and hoping for a better day. We continue to give beyond our ability. We love hard. We laugh often. We dance whenever... and as fast as we can. Yes, we experience great joy at times too.

We all work, we're all tired. Yet, we know and believe that miracles happen, good things come to those who wait, and some where out there, is a living God who loves us.

Why Sisters of Satin when in truth we wear flannel? Because we dream of the satin. The softness, the beauty, the elegance, the luxury and the status it brings. We believe in the end that there is Satin for us if we just keep going. I believe Cinderella's dress was made of pure satin, don't you?

Why bedtime stories? Because I don't have time to blog until just before bed.

And...In all of this, we depend on the sisterhood.
