Ordinary Courage

Courage in the ordinary moments of every day life.

On this day, the water was so clear that it was possible to see little fish going about the business. I really wanted to step into the water. So...I took off my shoes and waded through the river. My goodness it was cold. I don't think my toes knew what hit them...and I'm fairly certain that after 20 minutes of wading around, these toes would've jumped ship given the option. I'm grateful they're still attached to me and fairly healthy.

On a serious note, I'm grateful for courage of the moment. The ability to feel the cold was a stark reminder of the vitality of life coursing through every cell in my body.
