A HOUSEWIFE BEGINS HER DAY WITH THANKS:
Not every day is an easy day for a housewife, but when every day begins with thanks it creates a better perspective. Challenging days require more thanks, and by giving thanks it helps a housewife rise to the challenge of taking care of her responsibilities even when she doesn’t feel up to it. Giving thanks for what she has, even when it’s something she doesn’t want, can change how a housewife looks at what she has, too. When a housewife recognizes and appreciates all that she has – a home, a husband, family, pets, etc. – her thankfulness will fuel her spirit and help keep her going strong every day.
