courage...

inspired

by the moda designers

sharing...

.

...memories about their

experiences

with country fairs

i dug into a box

with the pics

from the summer

i arranged for

my girl scout troop to

 attend the ohio state fair

as i looked at lots

 of really good photos

i came across this one

i look scared

to death.

and i probably was

fear of heights

it's always been there

yet i couldn't look like

a coward

in front of the girls

i was suppose to be

 the leader after all

today

when i look at these photos

courage is what i see

 it's not visible

to the naked eye

it was hidden deep within me

like a silent strength

i was traveling

with a group

of young women

trusted to my care

and

a very medically fragile daughter

one who could have collapsed

in my arms

 at any time

without a moments

notice

at the time

i was given

loads of courage

to move beyond my fears

today

looking back

i'm not sure how i did it

but i did

renews my faith

 that

one won't be given

more than they

can handle

today i am most grateful for

the good times

the memories

and the courage

it can move mountains
