I'm thankful for my courage. At 16, I had the courage to go to bed alone every night, and wake up and finish 12th grade. I had the courage to conquer life without parents at a very crucial time, and I aced it.
I'm thankful for the courage to sign my name on the dotted line and board a plane for a trip that would change my life forever. Thankful for the courage to become part of the world's greatest Air Force.
I'm thankful for the courage to jump into my relationship with Nicolas with BOTH feet, and without looking back. For the courage to have three babies... and the courage to move overseas and become part of a world that I never thought I'd see.
I'm thankful for the courage that carried me to my counselor's couch this afternoon... the courage that allowed me to open up and talk to the very person I had forever thought I was too strong to need. Thankful that I stayed for an hour and a half...Thankful for the courage to schedule the next appointment with her.
I'm thankful for the courage to endure. Life is short, but it is long... but courage has gotten me this far, and it will see me through.
I enjoy your style of writing. I "get it" when I'm reading. I feel like I can hear your voice. Thanks for sharing.
