Not because my house is meticulously clean 24/7.... it's not.
Not because I am a subservient wife, running around all day in an A-pattern skirt and apron, pretending to be June Clever..... I don't.
Not because my children behave 100% of the time, are perfectly polite and share all the time, and get perfect grades.... they don't.
Not because I work in the corporate world and receive daily Kudos from the boss and my coworkers...... I don't.
Not because I have a perfect hourglass figure, eat healthy and work out religiously so that all the neighbor women are jealous of my perfect body.... it's not.
Not because I treat my husband like his mother during the daylight hours and Madonna all night long in the bedroom every night..... I don't.
I have worth today, whether or not I am pleasing everyone around me, whether or not I am keeping up the appearances that society challenges me to keep up. I am worthy of love and respect in my worst moods, in my darkest hours, in my PMS days, when I'm sickest, and on days when I can't even function.
I am worthy because I am a beautiful person on the inside, because I laugh and cry and share and grow and backslide, and then grow some more. I know who I am and I ask for help, and I turn around and help someone else when I am feeling better. My HP created me just the way I am and will always see me as a perfect little girl.
