Qualities of a woman























Hi there babyboomer women

I received this email with a time frame to send on, which I find inconvenient. However, I enjoyed the content so pass it on to the wonderful women out there, with love and appreciation perhaps for the thought of the day

Clara
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.....
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in..
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give..
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

And flowers are a nice touch


Hi Babyboomers


Happy Valentine's Day to you all.

And from Sophocles - One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; That word is love.
Oedipus at Colonus
Special message to the Guys
 I have to say that I empathise with you today knowing that it may not be easy to surprise and express love on this day of expectation.


Hugh Mackay on love - 'Love' must be the most flexible word in the English language..... So what kind of love do we desire? Romantic, erotic, altruistic, parental, sacrificial, familial, material, ethereal, companionate, divine?

Those and more. Love in all its varieties and manifestations, lights us up. Love has the power to enlarge the spirit; to bring out the best in us; to encourage a greater openness to others and to inspire us to perform acts of kindness. Love comforts us, reassures us and boosts our confidence in ourselves.

Thanks Hugh - I'm sure you won't disappoint your loved one. But for others out there, a couple of helpful hints from Clara.


  • Whilst I know you don't fall for the commercialisaton of the day, and your loved one may have assured you that she doesn't want anything at all, it is a brave man who heeds that request -
  • Having said the above, what women want more than anything else is to feel that they are special, and this doesn't necessarily mean material trappings. To just take time out of your day to turn off the TV, hold her hand, look into her eyes and tell her how you feel about her should do the trick.
  • Yes G, this may mean not playing Squash tonight
  • and flowers are a nice touch.
    Love Clara - By the way, I am giving G a card with the promise of a massage.
