Most women that I know--when they are young---are pretty modest---WELL let me back up and say---most women of my generation! Obviously younger women are not afflicted with these same Victorian mores---based upon what they prefer swimming in. NOT going there--NOT the purpose of this post!
Then as we grow older and become more comfortable with ourselves--along comes our family. This leads to a level of inhibition of new heights. I personally do not care to discuss the difference in anatomy on a personal level with my children--now or ever.
My move to Fort Worth has been very "Liberating". My apartment is the top floor of a two story house with an entrance downstairs. I am home alone---most of the time--except for an occasional visit from #1 daughter and grands. So no one to pop in--without plenty of notice--since I am upstairs. SO --perhaps--just maybe-this has been a revealing experience!
It has been freeing and I am no longer startled when I walk by the full lengthy mirror --wondering whose reflection that is---in fact--I am beginning to recognize just who she is!

Your comments keep my writing and often cause me to think. A written form of a hug or a pat on the back and an occasional slap into reality---I treasure them all!
