WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ?

It's a quote from Anne Franke '' I can shake off

everything as I write ;

my sorrows disappear , my

courage is reborn."

Would that we all had that kind of courage. Pam, who isn't what she would like to be.

If you're not what you'd like to be you can change it sweetiepye

I think writing words can excercise your demons and release feelings caught up inside us!! It's a bit like talking to a councillor!!! It works for a lot of people. I've read lots of your posts and you have an abundance of courage!! It's just we often can't see that in ourselves.

Oh wow, that sounds wonderful. I want to be courageous, but I feel like a mouse. I have to work at overcoming my fears every day. If I didn't I would go right back to being anxious and panic stricken. Pam , who fakes it till she makes it.

I'm sorry you feel like that because you'd never guess you felt that way. You do a great job of dealing with it then because you come across as a strong lady. In fact if you were from the uk I'd say you were northern!! Because northern people have a reputation for saying it as it is !! I'm northern and have been accused of that many times!!! Although I'd never purposely hurt anyone I believe in being honest if someone asks!! Anyway Pam I think I'm rambling!! Il shut up now. Take care.

Being courageous is doing something you fear to do, it isn't an absence of fear. Everyday I try to do something I am afraid of sometimes it is the same thing done many times until There is no fear there anymore. Driving in the city was a challenge as well as parking at meters. Now I am quite good at it and driving on the expressway is no challenge anymore . I've learned to face my fears to keep them at bay.Some of my fears are silly to others , but not to me. I am afraid of the dark and have been since my Father died. I use a small night light, I don't even try with this one. I was born and raised in a farming community where you learn not to ask the question if you don't want the answer. Was Margaret Beaufort from the north ? I've been reading British history. I do jump around a lot. Pam
