'Tisn't life that matters! 'Tis the courage you bring to it.
--Sir Hugh Walpole
--Sir Hugh Walpole
What a powerful statement—right away it makes you want to square your shoulders, raise your head and look the world in the eye…
And, the thing is that the place where the most courage is needed is in cheerfully doing our daily tasks…those little, sometimes tedious, everyday chores…duties that often go completely unnoticed by the family…routine tasks that just have to be done if the day is to move smoothly…gaps filled and people covered up for at work…there are so many tiny demands that daily life makes of us…nothing dramatic, or earth-shattering or traffic-stopping…but all requiring a cheery smile…
That’s when life really starts to matter…
