Doormat or Dragon?

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.....cellophane flowers of yellow and green, towering over your head.....look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, .......And she's gone.....Yeah,....That's right, She is  GONE!!!.....Gone are her days of La-La Land...Here's the 4-1-1....She had to go out and find a J.O.B!

Life as she knew it was about to change and her world of newspaper taxis that appeared on the shore,waiting to take her away....... Yup, you guessed it....vamoose!! Life as she knew it....best referenced by Kansas was "Dust in the Wind!" This gal had to wise up and get a reality check....She was so used to someone doing everything for her that she forgot how to do things for herself. Soon, doors were slammed in her face, banks were turning her down for loans, credit cards were being cut in half at check-outs. People laughed and made gestures behind her back,....where was every ones faith in this woman now?

 Oh sure everybody loved her when she was married and had money, nice vacation homes, boats and jet skis, kick ass Christmas gifts..... and parties for everything.....Yes, life was all around good for everyone!...... What did she soon learn? They were all a bunch of free loaders!...She was always so giving of herself that she really didn't care about all the little things that in her eyes that seemed so evasive. Gone was the good life as she knew it. No valet, the only one that was parking the car was her! Now she was clipping coupons and taking her kids out to dinner on the "buy one get one free" deals, going to mid-day matinees, coloring her own hair, doing her own nails, and shopping clearance racks.

Life teaches you a lot of valuable lessons, some good some not so good....Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,.....and well, you know the story.....cut the bad out of your life.....gone~ bye bye, adios, hasta la vista! She started over with very little, and never looked back.Gone are the days where she was every ones doormat. Years have passed.,....and yet she holds on to some of her memories, not all of them were bad,...she took business classes gathered her thoughts and set out to do what people said she couldn't....while most were too busy calling her a dreamer she was becoming a "Do'er!"

 Does this story sound familiar? Were you or someone that you know a gal with her head in the clouds? If so, know this....life is as good as you make it. You can feel sorry for yourself and expect pity, or you can pull up your big girl panties and make your hopes and dreams your reality! Life of the doormat days are history.... Dig down deep and find that optimistic woman that has self-esteem, will squish you like a bug if you cross her, ......Yes, you know- the one who has confidence to walk on nails, and will breathe fire on you if you get in her way....DREAM BIG, and make it happen!!! Moral of the story....a little faith can take you a long way! There are no limitations to what you can do, and there's is no time like the present to change your life, and your life style. I'll keep my head in the clouds.....because it allows me to imagine almost anything.....and my possibilities are endless.......
