"You don't get in life what you want.
You get what you are."
~Les Brown
Women have strengths that amaze men.


They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.


They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.


They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.


They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.



They don't take 'no' for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.


They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.


They love unconditionally.


They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.


Their hearts break when a friend dies.


They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong even when they
think there is no strength left.


They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.


Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.


The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.


They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their
family and friends.


Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.



HOWEVER,
IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

-There Is One Flaw In Woman
~Unknown

"Everyone has a purpose in life...
a unique gift or special talent to give to others.

And when we blend this unique talent with service to others,
we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit,
which is the ultimate goal of all goals
." ~Deepak Chopra
Acknowledge your own remarkable goodness; there is much to consider. ~anon

And don’t ever mistake self-esteem for self-worth
(esteem doesn’t even come close).

Please pass this along to all your women friends
and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.
