Courage is...
Courage is having the strength to walk when you are in so much pain you can barely stand. (my mom.)
Courage is having the strength to love your spouse even though he may not remember your name. (my grandma)
Courage is having the strength to show your face at work when your face has been plasted all over the local news for a possible felony. (co worker)
Courage is having the strength to be different in a town that isn't known for accepting diversity of any kind. (Countless co-workers)
Courage is showing up to work after being demoted and knowing others are laughing at you. (arch rival at work)

wow...
colourful courage...
I like this! Courage comes in a lot of different forms.
You said it. And it takes intestinal fortitude to write about it too. Good for you.
Thank you for sharing!
the pain one gets to me the most. Pain is such a complex type of adversity.Â
wow, this is a terrific post!!!!!
Great insight
pretty words
Wow. How cool.
Very lovely post.
I think courage is taking a leap into the unknown to try to achieve your dreams.
That is an excellent list. Thank you for sharing it. And here's to all the quiet, courageous people around us.
That's a lovely list. Courage is an amazin thing!
Thanks for the comment on my blog. It's all right now, I got over him with the help of my wonderful friends and my complicated sense of humour. I am too young for things like that anyway, I must enjoy my youth. :) Have a lovely day!
well put, wonderful list.
@maniacsicko - it did turn out to be a bit more colorful then I thought...
@TheCheshireGrins - courage is all around us. :)

@bottledsunshine - Being young is all about dating lots of guys! Thank you for the compliment on the list.
@dikdoktor - @heidenkind -thank you for the recs! You are wonderful.

Courage can be found in many people,old and young.A child learning to walk to someone faceing life alone after the loss of a love one.
I luv it!

@daldit - thank you!
That font kicks ASS. Oh yeah, and so does Courage. Especially when Katz is around to attempt harm on Muriel!
RYC: Exactly. Many great people reside here; and they all deserve defending and protection.
@Schristian - Thank you for the rec. :) The courage font is my favorite-Curlz Mt.
I must be pretty damn courageous then. Never thought of it like this.
Thanks for this post. =]
"having the strength to be different in a town that isn't known for accepting diversity of any kind."
ooooh, i know what thaaaat means.
at least you learn GOOD things from coworkers. boo. then, there's my situation. i should be you for a week.
All of these are definitely examples of courage. And one of them has helped me too.
@mr_randyc - I'm glad one of them has helped you as well...
@BunnyParfait - everyone is courageous-we just don't always know we are.
@TheBigShowAtUD - I think that is the hardest types of courage. After being me for a week, you'd be running back to Columbus...
haha. why? where do you work?
@TheBigShowAtUD - The most exciting thing that happens here is the air show...I work at a supermarket that my family used to own. I'm the Receiving/Inventory/Pricing/wine/beer manager.
