Can You Be Sexy and Modest?

Very interesting discussion on Anne's blog on modesty. Check it out and then come back because I have some questions for you.

This whole modesty issue is something I struggle with as a single woman ... knowing where the line is. And the line is very fine, I think, between sexy and slutty.

So how in the world does a single girl remain sexy and modest? It's HARD, in my opinion.

Summer is my favorite season. I love tank tops and shorts and sundresses. And yes, even halter tops and bathing suits. For me, this isn't an issue of modesty. I just love the sun. But that's because I don't think the way men think.

It's easy for me to forget what a struggle this can be.

What do you think?

Summertime

Just took Havana for a long walk.
I was wearing a tank top.

Praise the Lord!

The Dog Days of Summer

It's freakin HOT these days.

A tribute to my favorite day

What is it about fireworks?
They make me smile for 45 minutes ... straight.
They light up the night as bright as day.
They shake me from the inside out.
They symbolize our freedom.
They make me feel like a five-year-old kid.
They mean summer is in full swing.
They go perfectly with the 1812 Overture.
They bring out the patriotic feelings of normally unpatriotic people.

They memorialize.
They honor.
They celebrate.

There are surely fireworks in Heaven.

Lazy, crazy, hazy days ...

This past Saturday was one of those summer days that you wish could last forever ... and a perfect day for some photos.

Sometimes I think about moving to another state. Then I look at the sky and change my mind. Seriously. Good job, God.

There's something rather fairy-tale-ish about lily pads...
