A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG

Photo: ----------------------------------- Woke up with the sun way up gleefully heating up the face of the earth! But it took a back seat this time when I saw this in my inbox. Thank you, Mr. Quote Man, this one takes the prize. I'm bringing it here in memory of my mom ... a strong person, woman, daughter, wife, and mother. To quote: 'A woman is like a tea bag -- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.' --Eleanor Roosevelt Unquote. True, isn't it? And she is right here in our homes, our family circles, our close friends, and even out there on the streets of our big cities or in the far-flung areas of our rural landscape. But it's not always in the huge life drama or battles thrown their way that they shine. It's also in the silent struggles of their mundane battles of life and living day after day... disappointments, frustrations, heartbreaks, broken dreams.... We have a lot of them around us. You will know them when you see them because something within will resonate with that felt or shared in the heart.

    A woman may look soft and gentle,even appear vulnerable.But it is during trials or crisis her true grit and strength of mind comes out.They can rise to the occasion to deal with the problem depending on the circumstances they are placed..
