Sexy toes and scabby kness.....

There is something to be said about scabby knee's....
Deep set bruises....
Scars....
war wounds that we wear with pride.
Little medals of honor...
A testament to our bravery...
Our courage...
And that moment where we lost focus....
Just long enough to take a good long tumble...
Yes...
I love my scabby knee's!!
What brought this little rant on your might ask....
consider this for a moment....
My recent trail adventure had left my cute toes chipped... and in a bad state of repair...
I was humiliated at how they looked peaking out from my sandals...
And even more horrified at the idea of showcasing them in the stunning new champagne stilettos... with a cute little toe peep I just purchased....
Never mind that my silky dress is not even knee length and the full glory of my knee will be showcased....
I had a toe issue going on.....
I beleive... no matter how banged up I get... my toes should always be the picture of perfection....
Probably because I have an amazing toe keeper....
Who gives stellar calf massages... and laughs over each of my wounds with me....
And I also have the romantic dream of some dashing man massaging my cute toes after a long day on the trails....
Sadly...
this time I had to cheat on my amazing toe friend...
Being 3 hours from home and having a wedding in 24 hours I knew I had to call in for reinforcements....
As I sat in the big chair waiting for the pampering to begin my "new lady" looked at my knee with horror....slight revulsion... and then disgust....
oh yea... it's that good... and it's been healing.... if only she saw it 3 days ago!!
The funny thing is... this reaction transported me back to a a place about the same time last year... where I had crashed my road bike and was covered in an amazing rainbow of bruises...
And the reaction of one of my friends...how disgusted he was... and how I felt almost dirty for being "marked".....
The reality is....
I love my bruises...
I love my wounds...
They shine brighter than diamonds...
and are worth more than all my possessions combined...
Each scrape... each scar.... each colorful bruise tells a story...
And each story holds a piece of my heart....
So tomorrow when I strap on those amazing shoes...
And I slide into that silky dress....
I'll add a little sparkle to that glorious knee....
And I'll be proud....
And to all of you who think it's disgusting...
Dirty...
That girls shouldn't have scabby knee's....
I'll tell you this...
I am no girl...
I am 100% female....
I am 100% woman....
And I find scabby knee's sexy.....
