The Smart Woman: A tribute to my grandmothers

The Smart Woman:

One who chooses courage in spite of fears;
One who chooses forgiveness when it is easy to judge;
One who chooses peace in the midst of chaos;
One who chooses joy when sorrow can easily prevail;
One who chooses gratitude in the face of adversity;
One who chooses to be human when it is easy not to be;
One who chooses acceptance when intolerance abounds;
One who chooses to give when taking feels instinctive;
One who chooses to learn knowing life is a mystery;
One who chooses humility when the self is hard to tame;
One who chooses laughter when self-pity takes its toll;
One who chooses Love, sees Love, gives Love, feels Love
in all and for all. One who loves her maximum.


~ Elizabeth A. Garcia-Gray MD
