I don’t remember too much of 2001.
I can’t say it was terrible year, nor was it a good year either; sometime during that year I developed symptoms that indicated that I was sick. The test showed I needed surgery. This sickness took a life of its own and all my attention was focused on getting healthy. I did not focus on the news, world affairs or on politics that year; were there clues that we or I did not see?
Today we believe God wants us to know that…
Courage is not always obvious.
Sometimes courage speaks in a small voice of quiet determination to return tomorrow and try again.
“Don’t be afraid. Don’t be daunted. Just do your job. Continue to show up for your piece of it, whatever that might be. If your job is to dance, do your dance. If the divine, cockeyed genius assigned to your case decides to let some sort of wonderment be glimpsed, for just one moment through your efforts, then ” Olé!” And if not, do your dance anyhow. And “Olé!” to you, nonetheless […] just for having the sheer human love and stubbornness to keep showing up.” Elizabeth Gilbert
