More than just a cowgirl - also a lady

So I had a thought today when I was getting out of the shower - it went something like this:

"Why do I even bother to shave my legs and smell nice?  It's not like the horses care..."

I had to remind myself that although I'm single and live in the middle of nowhere, that someday I'll find that special guy.  I wouldn't want him to think that I'm just some ranchy cowgirl who doesn't care about taking care of herself.  So that's why I'm going to do something nice for myself every day - and NOT feel silly about it.  Whether it's putting on mascara because it makes me feel pretty, or a squirt of perfume because I like the smell, or adding my silver concho to my braid just because.  I think it's really important for gals in not-so-glamorous occupations to remember that although our jobs often time are our lives, we are still ladies.

So I challenge all you other ladies out there to remember to be feminine, take care of yourself, and enjoy being a girl!  The horses don't care, but the cowboys sure do! :)
