BEING PRECIOUS

In my next life, I am going to be precious. Back in the early 90s there was an article in Fortune magazine about Texas millionaires and their second wives. These women were educated, beautiful, and younger. The first wives raised the kids and supported the guy as he built and many times lost his fortune. The second-third-fourth wife's main responsibility was to present herself well and to be unfailing supportive. She was his prize. She was precious.

Since I have an existing healthy husband who is neither Texan nor a millionaire, I can afford to wait awhile before I begin remolding my image, personality, and big mouth!
