		<description>Maggie, Ruth, Karen: Such wonderful wisdom, such wonderful friends...

Don:  You&#039;ve been there selflessly for me when I&#039;m here whining, and I have little to complain about out, I am truly blessed - even my challenges help keep me focused and centered and driving forward.  I really can&#039;t understand what all you might be feeling and going through.  But I&#039;d like to help in any way I can.

Ruth:  Your challenges are far beyond what most of us handle and deal with now.  For you too, I&#039;m short on time and energy and words for you, but I promise, full of thoughts, concerns, cares, and support in what ever way I can.

Good night all.</description>

		<description>Fear of the unknown...what does our future hold?  We are always told to &quot;look forward&quot; and not behind which is a very good thing, but I think during the times when it is too difficult to look forward, those are the times when we just need to &quot;Be&quot; and just live for the present, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.  For that is really the only thing we have.

Hugs to All</description>

		<description>Trying to hang on to the past is impossable .Im finding out .Moving head seems just as hard .Iam going to leave a life that i have lived for 37 years and try a new one .Getting to know kids grandkids and great grandkids to dont know and most i have never saw .You think your future scares you .I  am terrified .With nothing to hang on to its scary .You keep telling us about your mountains and your thoughts . It gives me some comfort . Your life will be fine you are strong and thoughtful . With both you cant loose .

		<description>Bravery is what others call us when we are just doing what is right, what needs to be done, following that path that we have chosen. Rarely do we *feel* brave, even when others see us as walking a path of courage...

Your secret weapon is that you aren&#039;t on that path alone!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m split. But working on it! I waver between brave and afraid. It&#039;s like hopping from one foot to the next in anxiety and then I finally charge. Silly, I suppose. Your words keep me strong Gin. Thank you.</description>

		<description>Funny, I though of you, Ruth, as I wrote this and thought quite the opposite. You were the one being brave right now.  I&#039;ve not taken the time to check in with you this week but want to do so to hear where you&#039;re at with all the changes blooming before you.</description>

		<description>&quot;I remember being brave.  I am not right now.  I feel it, remember it, and am itching to step boldly again.&quot; Me too... thanks for sharing.</description>
