In an effort to stave off pouting because at least five of my people are in some warmer and/or exotic place at the moment, this is my Forced Happy Thought.

Reasons I'm Glad I'm a Girl - with #1 being the most relevant:

1. social acceptance of the having of feelings


2. genuine emotional closeness and open love of friends


3. twirling in silk circle skirts


4. giggling


5. waltzing


6. dancing


7. swishing skirts when dancing


8. swishing skirts when bounding down stairs


9. bellydancing


10. hoop earrings (every female's birthright)


11. social standard of reliance upon dark chocolate


12. witchy feeling when throwing in handfuls of root-y foods to make stew in big simmering pot


13. having curves


14. having smooth skin and minimal body hair


15. being moved, in a good way, to tears...say, by beautiful violin/viola music


16. romance


17. green and peacock feathers


18. red and magenta


19. lushness


20. once in a great while, feeling just a bit like the sunrise


21. being able to say things like the above and only getting groans in response, rather than physically stomped


22. pretending to be a gazelle when hopping over rain puddles


23. bubble baths


24. pedicures


25. wearing certain shiny things, though attraction to shiny objects does make feel as if no better than a fish


26. lots of hugs and kisses


27. shameless snuggling


28. sitting in window sills, remembering sweet things, and sighing

That's enough. Time for tea. All better now.
