Barbara Feldman: Bravery

Bravery

Bravery, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Several times this week I have been called brave. Yet the things I did were easy for me. Which does not mean I do not have fears, just my fears are different from yours, and yours and yours. So what were my amazing acts of bravery? Removing a rat trap with a live rat from my sister-in-law's house, and revealing the story of my "the-gate-is-open and the dog-is-missing" hysterics .

So what does scare me? At the top of my list is medical procedures and surgeons. Okay, the list does go on, but I'm not brave enough to share them all.
