Dear God
Sample this:
Sans makeup, layered clothes, no frills appearance and no tantrums.
Yes world, we exist. There are a lot of women in the world who you call
unwomanly. Tough women who never cry, graceful who know how to handle
rejection, powerful who are responsible about their power and responsible not
only for themselves but for people around them.
It is an amazing fact check God. For centuries, women have been handling
care giving, nurturing, nanny duties and also chef calls with special requests
with ease and panache. Yet we have been called the weaker sex. There have been
numerous jokes about women being the spenders in the family. Yet everyone just
loves the gifts she gives. Make fun of her remembering dates and little details
but you have been saved numerous times when she timely remembered birthdays and
special occasions.
You hate how her shopping list is never complete yet you are amazed by the
small subtle changes her showpieces and little nothings add to your home. You don’t
like the array of products on her bathroom shelf yet are blessed to have a
lavender oil bath or a foamy refreshing lime shampoo.
You ridicule how she pays attention to little details like averting eyes
and nervous foot tapping. Yet you are happy to take advantage of her hunches.
You call her the gossip queen yet when her assumptions are right you never give
her credit. You call her narrow minded when she warns you about certain people.
Yet when they make their move, your jaws drop at the accurate perception.
All the jokes about her tardiness can’t help you notice how she never
leaves the gas stove on or a tap leaking whenever she leaves home.
You are irritated by how much she changes when she becomes a wife, mother,
daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. Yet you miss out how easily she accommodates
new relationships in her life.
You are angry at the fat, bad haired, ever busy specimen in your home yet
you miss out how she runs around making your life easier.
Stop right now and be aware - the woman in your life is special. Just like
very woman is.
