I always wanted to paint, but for some reason, probably because I mostly identified myself as a &#8220;writer&#8221;, I didn&#8217;t think I could. (I also felt intimidated by the \u201creal\u201d artists I encountered.) I was talking with a friend of mine, a graphic designer, who thought I was crazy to think I couldn&#8217;t paint! He dragged me to the nearest art store, helped me pick out brushes, canvas and acrylics, then watched as I sputtered my way \u2013 scared witless \u2013 through my first painting. I owe him \u2013 and his great aunt Edna, who taught him that he could be an artist \u2013 a debt of gratitude I can never repay. (And thankfully, my painting ability has improved since then. \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n<p>My second tattoo, which I got upon divorcing my practice husband, is the Japanese Kanji for \u201cCourage\u201d. (At least, it\u2019s supposed to be. It could say practically anything, I suppose!) It\u2019s on my left shoulder, so it follows me around wherever I go, a permanent reminder of what I\u2019ve accomplished in the past.<\/p>\n<p>This quote resonates with me the most:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #77287b;\">&#8220;Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.&#8221;<\/span> ~ Dan Rather<\/p>\n<p>Some days, it\u2019s an act of courage just to get out of bed. But I do it anyway (usually).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #77287b;\">&#8220;Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.&#8221;<\/span> ~ Winston Churchill<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #77287b;\">&#8220;Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much deeper and much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody\u2019s looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you\u2019re misunderstood.&#8221;<\/span> ~ Charles R. Swindoll<\/p>\n<p>So, go forth my friends. Practice courage. You may be surprised at what wonderful things happen for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently went through my old DayPlanner ~ which I can\u2019t seem to get rid of, even tho I don\u2019t use it for its intended purpose any more ~ and found a bunch of quotes I\u2019d written down and saved. &hellip;
