Earlier in the week someone included me in a statement about "strong women", and my initial reaction was such shock that I spent the rest of the day trying to come up with a definition of "strong woman". How do you define "strong"?
I still don't have an answer. I'm not even close.
What I do know is that I certainly don't feel strong. I cave too often to peer pressure. I long to be part of "the group" so much that I throw my principles out the window with ease. I run from taking responsibility for my own feelings and prefer to hide my ideas for fear that someone won't "get them". For the most part I feel like a weak chameleon bumbling through a life comprised of other people's decisions.
So now I wonder...what makes someone strong?

I hope things are OK...you know how to find me if you need me. I mean, I know you've got plenty of "strong women" around you, but if you need one more...
