The response that made the deal between us was acknowledging that she mainly had no idea what I was talking about but that she would be there for me and give it her best. That was good enough for me. So much of anything is 'showing up'. It is true I am known for my courage and strength, yet many days I am anything but courgeous or strong. I find that if I soldier on, there will be a moment, my opportunity, to rise and make change. And it's only a moment. I have to stay focused and keep watching. Most days are solidly scheduled for showing up and soldiering on. And all days are good; some are just not sunny and warm.JBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058881790600891805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939465.post-38190178517335802862007-06-24T11:23:00.000-07:002007-06-24T11:23:00.000-07:00there are no sick days in the Navy.Hmmm, well, thi...<EM>there are no sick days in the Navy.</EM><BR/><BR/>Hmmm, well, this is a most interesting post, as is your norm, and the words above elicit a strong response. My boss, the lead physician, is an ex-Navy man with a zero tolerance for anyone calling "out" sick. He says, "In the Navy they strap you to the mast if you're vomiting and that's that." While I understand his reasoning/position, I am repulsed by what feels like a lack of compassion. It's all about perspective, I suppose, all about the lens.<BR/><BR/>You have a brave warrior soul. I have always, and will always, stand in admiration of your courage and strength.<BR/><BR/>I miss you.<BR/><BR/>--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939465.post-40960387141285093152007-06-22T11:49:00.000-07:002007-06-22T11:49:00.000-07:00You, my dear, are a great mother.

You have an admirable constitution, and a keen sensing of the real that lies between the impositions of the wants and the grounding of greater needs. Way cool.
