Courage

This lovely angel, Willow Tree's Angel of Courage,

was given to me by a very dear friend.

She said that I had more courage than

anyone she knew.

While I don't know if that's true or not, 

I was very touched by her gift and her words.

In fact it reminds me of something that occurred 

to me years ago. . . 

courage doesn't always feel like great big bravado.

Sometimes, courage feels like shaking in my boots

and doing whatever it is that my heart it telling me to anyway.

And isn't that shakiness what makes it an even braver action?

Yes.

(This is me, trustin' that simply showing up is Enough)
