Me Brave....I Think Not!

Yesterday someone sent me a note telling me how brave I was to be dealing with all my health issues. Being told that I was brave struck an odd note with me. I hardly think I am brave as I was not given any choice in the matter in regards to getting sick. It simply happened and I am being forced to deal with it. Bravery to me is something of a choice. A fireman or policeman has the choice to pursue that career and knows the risks and dangers. They are brave. People joining the military make a choice to defend our country at any cost. They are brave.

I hardly think I am in the same category. I am just a woman who came down with a rare disease (that has totally taken over my life) and I have no choice but to deal with it. Some might just call me lucky?!?!?!?
