I've been trying something new...I decided to give courage a try...I have started talking with people again...even strangers! I know how ridiculous that may sound but for 10 very long years I've been hiding behind giant impenetrable walls stewing in my own bitter anger...ashamed of my failures! Doing the least I could do...

The rain got in yesterday. The cold, damp bitter touch of fear, doubt and anger worked hard to bubble to the surface. I took a page from an old comic book. Bruce Banner was fighting to control the giant-green-rage monster known as the Hulk! He found a way to direct his rage. He vanquished the …
You snarl and snap. Jaws dripping with the scent of blood. Check yourself. I'm not bleeding. Learning by example! Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. -- Helen Keller

I tried being angry today and it was hard. The true test, however, will be when I wake the children! Learning by example! As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him -- Mahatma Gandhi
