My hope and prayer is that you may find inspiration in these pages. This morning I was looking over my journals and found something that I will share with the hope that you will see that I have come from a place of darkness into the light where I am now. Journaling is a very healing practice for some. I journal almost every day. This particular entry was 2 months after a very devastating experience for me and my children. Someone had said to me on this particular day that I had shown alot of courage.
November 10, 2002
Courage-A word that is used to describe heroes. We think of the men who fight wars to save us. We think of the firefighters and rescue squads who went into crumbling buildings on 9-11. They are worthy of the term "hero." They deserve to have the word "courage" used in the same sentence as their name.
My hope is that someday I can look back at this time in my life and see myself at courageous. I go back and forth between feeling scared to death and feeling, well, just okay. There is no shred of courage that I can find. Maybe someday I will find it and be proud. Proud that I will continue to move forward with my life. Learning as I go, loving with all my heart, and never giving up...
I'm thankful that I didn't give up.
