A HOUSEWIFE DOESN’T GIVE UP:

Whether life is filled with unexpected struggles, or just the daily routine of housework, a housewife doesn’t give up on her home or herself. 

When it feels like nothing is changing for the better or that life is the same old thing day after day, a housewife can change the way she thinks about the situation, she can give thanks for what she has, or she can find a solution to the problem, but she can’t give up. 

Every day brings with it the chance to make life better, and a housewife rises to that challenge because she knows that what she does matters and that the people she loves rely on her not to give up as much as she relies on them not to give up.
