Responsible Women

My favorite picture - The Responsible Woman - by James Christenson
It has been interesting watching the media try to figure out what to do with the Republican VP pick, Sarah Palin. She is the mother of five, with conservative values, is not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for that which she believes and does not wear monochramatic pantsuits. I see her and she reminds me of most of the women that I know. Women who want what is best for this and future generations, who value life and freedom, who stand firm to those beliefs which wise women know benefit nations. Women who do not pretend to be perfect, for smart women know that perfection is a very lonely place to be. Women who could solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, end world hunger and restore world peace in one good scrapbooking session. (okay- everyone knows that I don't scrapbook - but you get my meaning!)
Women who love their families and their husbands and simply do the very best they can each day regardless of their circumstances. Women who love their Father in Heaven and understand that who they are matters. Women who handle their trials with grace and dignity and make their own worlds a lovelier place.
Women like you.
Let's hear it for the Responsible Women!!!!!
