Honor yourself

The NAWLS Small Bite for April 9th is

Honor yourself. 

Dignity comes from the image we have of ourselves, knowing what we are worth. It does not come from society's recognition of us. The most honored person in society will possess no dignity unless she considers herself worthy. 

We honor ourselves with what we do and how we respect ourselves. We have a right to be proud of our accomplishments and thankful for coming this far. This self honor is dignity.  

Action for the day: 
Honor yourself today. In your journal, make a list of your recent accomplishments. If your list is short, do something today you can add to that list.
