Sisters of a Different Order

Any woman who has one or more sis­ters (like me) can instantly relate to Sis­ters of a Dif­fer­ent Order. Through our blood­lines, sis­ters share the same fam­ily.  But this does not always mean being alike. Per­son­al­i­ties, tastes, polit­i­cal or reli­gious ori­en­ta­tion, and many other fac­tors often make sis­ters very dif­fer­ent from each other.

I jumped right into read­ing this blog. Between the ups and downs of each sister’s chil­dren, hus­bands, and each other’s mus­ings, the feel­ing is fresh and often funny. Never a dull moment!

The reader gets the essence of the sis­ters’ lives, as when Sis­ter Sassy’s Father’s Day dec­la­ra­tion for her won­der­ful hus­band ends with “A mas­sage would not only be a great gift for him, but it would help him ther­a­peu­ti­cally. It would give him the time and relax­ation his body and spirit need to con­tinue being a great hus­band, father and employee.

Please con­sider Jim­myEW.” Or when read­ing about Sis­ter Honey Bunch’s new job, and the chal­lenges of fit­ting in and doing one’s best that she faces. As she explains, “I usu­ally walk through life feel­ing pretty darned OK about myself. And some­times? Some­times God decides to be all funny and put me in my place. There is just no other expla­na­tion.” As detailed in their Let’s Get Fit 8 Weeks Chal­lenge, the sis­ters were deter­mined to kick bad habits and get into shape. They com­pleted the challenge!

It is ulti­mately Sis­ter Sassy and Sis­ter Honey Bunches’ 100th post — “actu­ally the 101st,” Sis­ter Sassy adds — that gets the nod here. It is a beau­ti­fully writ­ten post where each sis­ter cel­e­brates the unique­ness and, yes, love she feels for her sister.

Con­grat­u­la­tions to you both! Who the Heck Are We? Our 100th Post is the Post of the Day!
