contemplating the important things
My daughter is asleep in my bed. I'm watching her sleep and wishing things could be as they were when I was a child. Not a care in the world and hopeful of the future.
My children are what's important, no matter how anyone wants to judge me. I know I am a good mother. Just today, another mother said what an amazing job I must be doing to have such a courteous and polite boy.

How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings.
