True Grit

After debating, perusing and conversation #61 and I settled on True Grit for our movie choice last Friday night and upon waking the following morning found that title on my mind. It meant something different than what I always took it for. Meaning yes, I knew it was a title of an old western but without ever having seen it or read the book I did not understand it's nuance.

"He has true grit."

Holding onto something or a moment even in the toughest of times and persevering till it is completed.

Up till now I thought it was seriously the name of a horse, a nickname or like I said just a title. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the movie.

I like to think I have true grit.
In the last few years I have had to buckle down and change a lifestyle. Single... single motherhood has brought out self-reliance,  perseverance and I find myself surrounding myself with the same type of friends. I don't have much patience for weak whiners. I love the friends I have; they are all strong woman and a couple of them are going to Hawaii this week and damn.... I wish I could have swung it! But I have responsibilities, commitments that I must complete first.

This is a hey to two fine woman with true grit who deserve a great vacation and know that your white tortilla will be thinking of you, with thoughts that your cute asses are sitting on the beach; relaxing...of course while drinking and deserving of the good things, that life has to bring you. Travel safe my chica's!
