Peace keepers

 

Women in my generation were encouraged to be chameleons.

I cannot tell you how many times what I wanted to do was countered with, "but a woman needs to be able to follow her husband's career."

Some women outgrew this upbringing. Others did not.

After so many years trying to please everyone some women honestly do not know where they want to go eat, or what they want to see on their vacations. 

I know women who are so bent on pleasing everyone that they cannot even train their dog for fear of making it unhappy.

They honestly believe this is the way it should be. They think they should be the yes men and keep the peace no matter how much havoc it wreaks in the lives of their children or the world. They never see how much damage it does.

It may not matter where you go to eat, but it does matter how you think.
