PROMPT January 12th

Describe a time when you exhibited bravery. *Shield1*

Bravery is getting out of bed
on a cold winter morning
when the arthritis
in my knees and hips
urges me to remain
beneath the warm covers.

Bravery is Googling my symptoms
before making
a doctor's appointment.

When I was young,
bravery was going to school everyday
and facing the bullies
or overcoming trypanophobia,
but as I grew older
I found myself redefining bravery
on a personal level.

In my middle years,
bravery was overcoming Arachnophobia,
driving to work,
or cooking a twenty pound turkey
in a microwave oven
because the regular oven didn't work.

Now--
at 73 going on 74--
bravery is dealing with
the pain
of everyday life.
