Lucky bow ties

I want to share a little story with all of you. I look at these bow ties and my heart starts beating a little faster out of excitement. I was 18 when I was in the final of Miss Italy. I didn't win, but what I won was the title of 'Miss sorriso', which is the title of most beautiful smile. I partecipate at 23 national und international Bodybuilding competitions. My motto was always to be better than last time. And I NEVER lost the love for the feeling, the fireworks, the emotions while standing on a stage and partecipating in this wonderful sport. There I am, 46 years old, standing as proud as ever on the stage and everything, just happens around me. In a short amount of time I give 200%; it's lighter everything or nothing. Since I was 18, on every stage, at every competition, these bow ties accompagy me. I am looking at them, with joy and fear at the same time. to feel the fabric between my fingers knowing that soon we'll be ONE again...
