That’s a hard word you know.
Bravery – being courageous!
Subjective too. We each view that word in a different way to some extent (as it relates to ourselves).
We all picture either warriors standing in a “warrior like” pose or a sole individual standing bravely against
all odds (we all have our heroes in that regard) to illustrate bravery and yet bravery is a far more complex subject that each of us has to come to terms with everyday.
~
The little braveries we or others perform daily (to us may seem little) are often the biggest of all. Hard decisions, hard calls, tough choices, difficult tasks and so on.
~
Today give yourself and those you know a big hug and then look them in the eye and remind them that they are brave for all of their little braveries (the one’s we often take for granted).

I think it’s a good time for us to acknowledge these. They are what keeps us going! Many thanks and hugs to each of you with my love for your bravery this day!

Sometimes decisions we make are not easy and they end up making somebody unhappy and somebody else happy. I think it takes courage to do what you think is right.

AnElephantCant say he’s courageous
Sometimes he just falls to pieces
It is not a fierce lion
That gets him a-crying
It’s the small things like those pesky meeces

I often do “warrior” pose in yoga practice. There is something really strong about that pose… and it often gives me courage to hang on.

I am grateful that God gives me the courage and the strength to be brave in the storm of adversity I face each and every day. but more than that I see bravery in every man woman and child that rises each day from their beds with the willingness to go out and do what they have to do to learn, teach, work, serve, inspire and encourage. Al I can say is thank you. And thank you Penny for being one of those wonderful people that teaches, inspires and encourages all of us. Love (((xx)))

Thank you Len. I know how brave you are every day and what you cope with. I do know. Your positive attitude and spirituality on your blog, your kind and upbeat happy nature that you share with others when you comment on their blogs. You keep your own pain that you struggle through daily to yourself. Len you are one extremely brave woman and I am very lucky to know you and call you my friend, dear one, for I am blessed with the knowing of you. Thank you for your bravery today Len. With much love, Penny

I was very brave today, Penny. I drove (a lot) and I haven’t driven in the country since we left here 12 years ago! I’m so used to freeways that it seems odd now getting onto country roads and avoiding tractors and animals
