Behind Every Strong Woman
Women are often described as being made of water, but some women are as strong as cement. They don’t act coquettishly because no one spoils them, they aren’t willful because no one pampers them, they don’t cry because no one coaxes them, and they aren’t lazy because they lack support.

A Few Moments More
You’ll give it one more minute, and then you’re headed back inside. It’s pretty chilly out, after all. Not that that’s a real issue - you’ve stood out here for longer, and in colder weather. The snow is nearly gone already; tiny, dirt-stained islands of the stuff form a shrinking archipelago dotting the sea of green that is your backyard. Striations of sunlight dance through the trees at the edge of the woods and paint the scene in a camouflage of brown, green, and gold.
