Courage Comes From Within















The best things in life are FREE...
That is soo true.
I did something this week that took a lot of courage.
I am glad I did it.
I had strength, which came at the right moments.
I overcame my fear.
The distance of the past with him is so much more of a tainted history.
The reality will have set in for him now.
I heard from others what I should and should not have done.
And, I did what I told myself to do.
You have to always do that, no matter what.
Is that a trite thing to say?
Well...
Why do each of us listen to the foolish rantings of others, sometimes?
Like the internally ugly girl in the limelight who tries to shove her views in your face.
Those secrets she blurts out at every moment, because, she thinks it makes her sound cool.
Those that try to annoy, and belittle, are the small minded ones.
They must enter their situations with the conscience of, the wrongs they have done to others.
These people must be so scared.
I would be too, if I was them.
But, I am someone else.
And, I like me, and I stay away from their vendicitive antics.
Frankly, once you face death a couple of times.
Nothing phases or scares you.
You become a strong, independant, capable person in everything you put your hand to.
If you have experienced this, then you will know where I come from.
So, petty ones with silver spoons...
Think on..
Life is not a perfect path.
It just doesn't seem fair sometimes that some of us struggle for each cent we make.
And, some wake up in the morning, who have a false sense of class, worrying about which pair of glass shoes to wear that day.

I stumbled across your blog when browsing from my own (curmudgeonmanifesto) and paused to read your lines. Thoughtful. I especially like the closing ,lines of this piece... "who have a false sense of class, worrying about which pair of glass shoes to wear that day." Nice. ( I spent a year in your Scotland long ago.)
