The Theory Behind the Giraffe

I am nuts about Giraffes!! We all know about the CrAzY cat lady. Well, there is something new the NuTtY Giraffe lady well that's me!! It all started when I was very young, I was teased a lot in elementary school because of my CP. Kids will be kids they really didn't know any different. I used to let all the negative stuff really get me down. One day my Auntie sent me this purple/reddish leather purse with giraffes all over it. A big thing she always taught me was to in her words "Hold your head up high like a giraffe." You know as life goes on and things get hectic those kinds of small things get pushed into the back of your mind. I went to Africa two summers ago, wow I can't believe it's already been that long! We went on a safari while we were there and we saw a few GIRAFFES! I was amazed at how beautiful, graceful, and gentle they looked and oh so TALL!! Of course we have one in the city zoo or they used to I'm not sure if they still do?? Nothing really compares to seeing them in their natural habitat. That trip has kind of helped to rekindle the love I have for the Giraffe. They just possess this amazing grace, strength, and peculiar beauty about them. Whenever I get to feeling a bit down I just picture one and it just brightens my day!!
