Fear vs. Courage

Fear takes many forms. So many times, I have heard people say that the opposite of fear is faith; I am starting to think now that the opposite of fear is courage; courage and action. I found it hard the last couple of weeks to stay in action due to poor health. Today I took the action of turning on the computer and typing. Reaching out to others to share experience, strength and hope has been a subtle action but one that is been helpful beyond belief for me tonight. I know that each one of us has something to offer others regardless of where we may be in any given moment. I am so grateful for the strength and courage granted to me by Creator and the marvelous friendships of people I know in person or online.

Sharing our pain

Does it take strength or fear to publish our lives for the universe to hear? I am going with strength - strength from a Higher Power. Sharing our pain opens us to others inventory taking, ridicule & critism; but also the prayers & support of those that get it.
