I can't even assertively put someone off for awhile because I know how much it hurts and shames to be rejected and abandoned....

I'll have to work up that courage or bravery. embarassed

bravery..

the mother who looks around her house and sees the stack of bills, the small amount of food, and the lack of hope that she is left with after her husband has walked out.. puts on a smile and turns to her kids and eases their fears.. while putting aside her own.


the solder who goes into battle with the knowledge that he may never make it home, but also the knowledge that he is fighting a much larger battle..


the cancer patient who has been given a terminal diagnosis, and volunteers at the homeless shelter...


the woman who after years of brain washing and abuse.. FINALY manages to gain the courage to walk away.. and never go back..

the rape victom who stands up in court to say put the man who violated her behind bars..

bravery is so many things.. but essentialy it is.. putting aside your own fears.. to ease the fears of others.. and to do what is right..

Nothing wrong with him. The timing is just not right and I need time to myself. I'll be honest. I just don't have the guts to get sucked in to a phone conversation tonight.

*sorry, OP....this went off topic. embarassed

There are way to many definitions of what brave could be...

I think that in the out of the box thinking, bravery is when people aren't afraid to be nonconformative with the ways of others. To be themselves and also to take time out to see what people are going through. To actually be there for someone and stay beside them through everything. I agree with your bravery listed about the 4 year old receiving chemo, but I would like to add that bravery is also in the parent(s) who have to watch her go through this all while trying to act like it is going to be okay for the child's sake when no one every really knows.

Bravery is just flat out doing something different, away from tradition. which also ends up to be the right thing no matter how much criticism comes from it. There's just so much, don't overlook the ways you can be brave everyday yourself, even just by making a donation to something, or just helping someone elderly put groceries in their car. :)

Angelindarkness i hope you feel better today?

Difficult day. There can be a certain beauty in sadness, though. I teared up a few times but prevented myself from crying by keeping very busy at work. Afterwards, I did read a book on divorce and/or breaking up families to the little one. I think it helped both of us.

Thanks for asking. flowerforyou
