Know Your Value
Value. def// to hold in high regard; to be worthy, to be useful to something or someone. It's amazing how quickly I am lost trying to find this endless, and equally, unreachable attribute. And it's an interesting thought, an attribute; for they are exactly that--something attributed to me. Something credited it me before I ever existed in this world. Something innately a part of my being. I have value. As a human. As a woman. As a daughter, a sister, a friend, a student, a social worker, and maybe even one day as a wife, and a mother. I forget this quite often. More honestly it is simply, repeatedly, and usually purposefully forgotten. It's scary. And heavy. To think that I must earn, or maintain, being valued.

And yours too, for that matter. I often think of C.S.Lewis w
