One Flaw In Women

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 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.

WOW!

I just read this quote on a Dove chocolate wrapper (wouldn't you know) :)

Failure is the opportunity to become more intelligent about making decisions!

Widow Mom, Like these!

Marcianne, How True!

Lil,

See. They are everywhere! Once you start noticing they'll fall out of the sky! Bumper stickers, that novel you're reading, billboards, song lyrics! And low and behold, when I see them by chance they are exactly what I need for a current situation. It's fun! You'll see.

Hmmm. Dove chocolate, hunh? Mmmmm.

Here's two that will make you laugh.

Here's one for the goddesses....who know what they like!

I like long walks.... especially if they're taken by people who annoy me.... :) :)

(can't remember who said it LOL)

Hmmmm.....

Gotta save this one for the proper time. My bf and I walk every am and I text him to wake him up. Sounds like a good quote for the morning after a fight?

He's a good soul and would see the humor.

Here's one for the DWD women!

"I thought love was more or less a giving thing.

"Forgive those who have wronged us, because YOU deserve it, even if they don't. Don't go through life with anger, resentment, hostility. Negative thoughts do not serve you. "
Found by Saucymomma on the NC thread

We forgive for ourselves, the anger and resentment will rot our life away and leave us with a residue of bitterness. Yes, it is important to forgive.

"the more I get to know my husband, the better I like my dog" lol oh that doesn't apply here, does it? ha ha!!

This is a Jewish proverb..please correct me if it's not verbadum, but i think you'll get the idea.

"the best way to show love to your children is to love their mother"...something close to that anyway. :)

"Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them."

Which reminds me of

"Happiness is not the absence of pain...."
expressed in a e-mail by one of my wise friends about my marriage

For the NC support group....

I really like this Marianne Williamson's quote:

'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as
children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.'

Marianne Williamson. A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, Harper Collins, 1992. From Chapter 7, section 3, pp 190-191.

Hi Wise unti it happened to me.

Enlighten me with your knowledge of a Player at the no contact support thread.

Deep down inside....I always believe I can win.

Wow Wise!

Thank you so much for the quote AND the reference. This sounds like a great book and I'll be looking it up soon.

The paralysis caused by ignoring fear and the difficult personal courage it takes to confront something that you fear is at the root of most of my most recent problems. It is interesting sometimes just what we actually do fear when you get down to it. This is a subject that I've become very interested in. This quote was just perfect for me now.

SZ

Studio,

Blue Truth is a good book about fear as well. Fear and love can't exist together.

"It's better to light just one candle than to clean the entire apartment" Eileen Courtney

Yeah. Dimming the lights is the best cleaning activity I know of....

Best way to get over a man....

Is to get under another one!

When one door of happiness closes, another opens. But often, we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Helen Keller

I have this quote literally taped onto my desk at work :)

Its a quote that is worth reading every day ! :)

Thanks Saucy! Writing that one down for the future.

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be."
