[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of women who endured incredible, often public tragedy or dishonor -- Jackie O, Elizabeth Edwards -- and held it together somehow. Not cold-hearted, but strong and self-assured. Particularly without losing it or sinking to a low level. Jackie O could have wailed, Elizabeth could have gone full-ok Jersey, but they didn't. Grace earns respect and makes the other person (in Elizabeth's case) look even worse.[/quote] Completely agree with this. Elizabeth is probably the best example of grace I could think of as well.[/quote] The way Jackie O handled the after-math of her husband's assanation..having sat next to him with his blood all over her. Then the way she planned the whole funeral and carried herself and raised her children was what I think of as graceful. Also- her love of art, reading, and her well-written thank you notes that people still remember. Her social etiquette. There was also no name calling or public outbursts or letting you to into the private life like people today. There is way too much sharing of personal information these days. [/quote]
