“Courage doesn't
always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
‘I will try again tomorrow’.” Mary Anne
Radmacher
I end a lot of my
days feeling as if I have not roared all day, have not made a noise, have not
stood up and been counted. Most days I crawl in bed wondering just what I did
that day. Have I ever had a day where I was courageous? (Except for that little
interview LIVE on TV last week, which I promise I will not bring up again.)
But I think that
every day we do have courage. Even if it is just getting through, or getting
by. We waited patiently in line at the grocery store. We didn’t retaliate at
the inattentive driver who almost took us out at the stop sign. We smiled at a
stranger. We laughed at an elderly gentleman’s joke which wasn’t funny.
And tomorrow
morning, if it is God’s plan for us, we will get up and get out of bed. And
have many more of those moments.
And when you can't roar, it's OK to purr.
