In continuation to my last post - http://doyouthinkyouareliving.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-am-proud-to-be-woman-happy-womens-day.html. But a special thanks to some of the best men I met as they have been a very vital and indispensable to my journey of being a woman. I am very proud to have you in my life:)
I wanted to write about Euthanasia Plea for Aruna but I prefer to write it tomorrow as this might not be the right day and time to discuss this sensitive issue. But I am sad about the entire thing. Being a woman on our day (Women’s Day), I find myself very helpless. I feel exasperated.
I read a poem (as below) and I am very happy to share this on women’s day. I am very sure I would prefer to be women of strength as many think me that way....but what would you like to be a ‘strong woman’ or a ‘woman of strength’.
But before you read this, I really want to share a small thought. My mother could never afford diamonds for us. And when I asked one day she said something that touched me and till date I never had any craving for diamonds. Though, I have many now but they are just anything for me not everything.
She said “DIAMOND is NOTHING but a piece of CARBON that can handle pressures very hard. The real diamond is being a woman of substance that can handle hard pressures of life. You do not have to wear a diamond and flaunt but be yourself like a diamond that others can flaunt their bonding with you. Search for that DIAMOND IN YOU not DIAMOND ON YOU. Diamonds were and are never the best friend of a woman. If so then why do woman wearing diamond look for friends outside? Your real friends are your traits like courage, inner beauty, clarity, sacrifice, self-dependence and much above character.”
I love my mother for this thought and I am proud that I am your daughter. I salute you today as a woman of substance (though I fight a lot with you...you know me)J. I salute you as a mother who quit her job to bring up me. I salute you as a wife who never demanded anything but sacrificed. You are the best women I met in this lifetime.
I dedicate the poem below to all my women readers and HAVE A ROCKING WOMEN’S DAY. Go ahead and wish that one special women of strength with this poem. But do read the post that I will write for Aruna...soon.
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape ...but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything ...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her ...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them...
A strong woman walks sure footedly ...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face ...
but a woman of strength wears grace...
but a woman of strength wears grace...
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey ...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...
