Good-Bye, FWW!

Posted by Karen Morath on Wed, 03/05/2008 - 1:00pm

This is my last post for FWW, and all good writers have been taught that your conclusion should link back to your introduction.

I introduced myself to the FWW community with a post about song titles that captured my mood and philosophy about life as a single-again woman.

So in my last post (do Americans know "the last post" a very significant tune for returned soldiers that is iconic in Australia? Anyway, it amuses me....) I am returning to song titles that capture my mood.

I ain't gonna go to rehab either, Amy. I am going to continue to live my life my way and not feel the need to conform to the expectations of others. I will do it My Way, indeed.

I am trying hard to be more G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S. Even just as glamorous as I used to be would be enough, but it's hard when you have so much to do. Maybe in my future, somewhere over the rainbow, when housework and the need to feed children doesn't get between me and the pot of gold.

I can't help humming "I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman" just as I did in that first post. It is an anthem for women living their lives without the support of a partner.

And I often think how lucky I am that I am, in fact, strong and invincible, because my life will continue to be — I am very sure — a "thriller."

Good-bye, FWW readers!
