Words To Live By

Fortitudo, by Sandro Botticelli,
From Wikipedia

cour·age

[kur-ij, kuhr-]
noun
1. the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.
2. Obsolete . the heart as the source of emotion.
origin
< Old French, equivalent to cuer, heart.

I read Lyla's post about choosing one word that has the potential to inspire you and create intention in your life, all year long.  Courage immediately came to mind.

                                             Courage has many faces.  Defending your country.
Defending your faith.

                                                             Upholding your values


                                                           Leaving your home

To Share your Dreams
To climb new heights to a new place
To uplift and share

To Spring forward and grow but not to forget your

ROOTS.


 

But to take those roots and nuture the future.


                                                     The future of youth, dicovery and family.






I will have the courage to explore new options, make decisions and enjoy each day.


The Courage to Fly

I will take that leap of faith every day and look for those opportunities to grow.


Join me on this year's journey and we will cheer each other on,

Di

    Just think what has been accomplished because of courage. What we could and would accomplish is we always had the courage.
    Very nice thank you,
