Grace Under Fire…

I have had a chance in the recent past to witness a number of people ‘in extremis’ emotionally: A co-worker who’s husband has terminal cancer and another who’s father is dieing, those who have lost loved ones, friends dealing with a hard break-ups, friends starting and re-starting their careers, folks who are asking difficult questions about ‘what they want to be in life’, etc.

 

I am often awed by the fact that so many of these people handle these rough patches with such extreme grace and courage.

 

It is inspiring and humbling.

My life is good, and I am greatful for those who share it with me.

*HUGS to my peeps!*

"Don't eat me! And if you must eat me....please don't start with my head!"

Like that song about knocking on wood. Not that the song understands the phrase, but the idea that we never know what strength we have until we need it is accurate. Unfortunately.

I have to say that, while we don't see each other very often, I'm glad we can call each other "friend."

(((HUGS)))
