Last night as I was working on my essays and I had to read this story about courage (who knew all this reading would get me thinking!) followed by writing an essay on someone I thought was courageous and why I thought that. My first thought was my dad. How awesome is my freaking dad! He joined the army to fight for freedom so my brothers and I didn’t have to. WOW. Then I thought about my mom, how everyday she is courageous in everything she does. Then I thought about my baby brother, Skyler… His courage is above that of anyone I know. I was in near tears thinking about how proud I am of him. Which then lead me to another thought, how scary life is when you enter the unknown, when you begin a new path in life -- going in almost feeling blindfolded. How much courage must you have to do that?! Then it got me thinking about how all of us every single day are courageous in everything we do.We are all our own superheroes, really. Example: Say you're having a really bad day and everything is just wrong, you know, one of those ‘Fuck Today’ days. So you go to bed and are determined to make tomorrow a better day, waking up and making it happen is totally courageous if you ask me! So today, even if you feel small and puny, go be COURAGEOUS and even if you think you’re not, you really are so just accept it! J
And Tanner, if you are reading this, I think you are super courageous for going to work and singing! Haha. :-{)
