When you leave dirty socks on the floor, or forget to carry your dishes to the sink, she doesn't let you quietly get away. She may have an aggressive voice in public settings, correcting and challenging you. In the worst of times, a hard-headed woman can be tough to handle. In fact, part of the intrigue of Cat Stevens' song is to hear his desire for hard-headedness. In between the brief moments of blessed joy, you may also experience a worst-of-times feeling. Of course there is a tradeoff to her hard-headedness, which is why I chose Stevens' song for my post. As a result of the good feelings, your life is blessed. She openly expresses a realistic, practical view, and this forthcoming spirit increases communication between you and her, which makes you feel good (at times). By keeping true to yourself and your ideals, she inspires you to be your best.Īs Cat implies, a hard-headed woman is hard to find. She's stubborn in her values but rightly so, and helps you keep true to yourself, as she does herself. She expects you to be you, and she's not interested in how much money you make, or how you smooth-talking you are. And she doesn't need all your answers - she has her own. She speaks the honest truth and puts you in your place when you're acting stupid.Ī hard-headed woman doesn't present any false pretenses. Best - She'll not be looking for one who pays.Īlthough Cat Stevens never specifically defines it in his song, a hard-headed woman in my mind is someone who doesn't stand down or hold back when she knows she's right.Best - The rest of my life will be blessed.Given that Jane, who also doubles as my wife in a fictional blog world in which my name is Dick, is somewhat of an outspoken, call-it-what-it-is, take-no-prisoners wife, my topic to apply the Dickens best/worst lens is Cat Stevens' "Hard Headed Woman." For those unfamiliar with the song, be sure to play it below.įortunately Cat Stevens outlines the benefits of having a hard-headed woman in his song (for the best of times): The way the carnival works, everyone writes a post related to this announced theme, publishes it on their blog, and then adds a link to it on her original post. Jane is hosting a blog carnival with the theme "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." This is a quote from a Dickens novel that I should have read sometime in my life but haven't.
