Day 8: Dare to Live Your Dreams

Day 8: Dare to Live Your Dreams

“Dare to live the dreams you have dreamed for yourself.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’ve been quietly courageous…  Have I? Sometimes I think I have been and other times not. My husband would compliment me on how well I was handling the whole injecting insulin situation. He would tell me how proud he was. (He still does, just not often as before.) I didn't think it was all that big of a deal, it was either do it or get sick and maybe die. I don't want to die, not for a while, there is too much out there for me right now.

I see quiet courage in action…  I don't really know how to respond to this. The image of quiet courage right now is bringing up visions of people suffering silently. I don't want to think of that right now.

I’ve learned about trying again tomorrow…  By trying to get healthy. Fall off my diet? Start again tomorrow. There is always a tomorrow (until there isn't) and just because I screw up today does not mean I will screw up tomorrow. There is always another chance and I need to remember that.

Courage is whispering to me right now…  Get off your ass and get healthy.
