Pearl Necklaces
I have two pearl necklaces . Each one is a different length and compliment each other perfectly. They were given to me years ago by my husband when we went to England one year. They are exquisite and I love to wear them on very special occasions where the dress code is formal. When I put on my pearl necklaces, they make me feel elegant and sophisticated, something I am not, as my kids can tell you, especially when we are out playing front yard football.
Realizing I am a woman with many layers is something I have learned through the years and something I embrace. My favorite layer is Mom. I have been this for 26 years. I have been hugged, kissed, had the eye roll, been the object of irritation and been appreciated. I would not trade it for anything in the world.
There is the daughter role, the sister, the friend, the girlfriend, the spouse and the person I am today: me. This person is my own friend. I have come to know her and appreciate her for who she is, where she has been and what she values in life. The pearl necklaces she wears are lovely and they show off the beautiful glow of the real person she is inside. I hope you have that special friendship with the person inside of you.
