BRAVERY First, let me say that we are working on the posting problem so please keep trying! The issue around my house this week is bravery. I consider myself to be somewhat brave. I have been skydiving and I had natural child birth with both my children! Then there is my most recent act of entering the blogging world. Now, I don't know how I would do under the line of fire. My husband, on the other hand, is in law enforcement and has too many incidents to count. (Not to mention all his other daredevil stunts from his youth). Then there are my two boys. My oldest will be seven next month. He has exhibited little to no acts of courage, but he talks a good game. My youngest turns five next month. Both boys have been in swimming lessons this week and have shown a lack of courage and confidence when faced with challenges. I'm talking shaking knees and trembling bodies on the low diving board! Now, here are a series of questions for you: Can bravery be taught from studying courageous historical people? Is bravery self-taught through personal experiences? Or, is it just something you are born with? What helps you find your courage?   ¶ 6/16/2004 05:58:00 PM
