"Courage is being scared to death 
and saddling up anyway." 
- John Wayne

Whenever I come upon this quote, I can almost hear it spoken with John Wayne's distinctive drawl and picture his swagger. 

His words remind me of a famous quote by a strong and well-known woman. And, as I type her words, I can almost hear her saying, "We gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face...we must do that which we think we cannot do." 

Yes, it's Eleanor Roosevelt.

May we all face our fears with all that we've got within us.

Especially our courage, 
Charlene

THE THIRD GIFT IS COURAGE.
May you speak and act with confidence
           and use courage to follow your own path.
