I don't know how I would have asked this dear 80 something year-old ladylike lady to do so with ribbon rain and there probably was hail as well - but maybe you youthful ones may want to find out the best place/position to be in at such times...and so will I. :)CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833518530559679192.post-39857821638506296992010-11-17T06:23:22.204-08:002010-11-17T06:23:22.204-08:00I just love every phrase and added depth in your c...I just love every phrase and added depth in your comment, friend...and topped off by this perfect ending: that such nights whether physically palpable or actual inner/outer struggles of another sort as you say: "...show what we are made of and what we have not known and realized.

I have spent two such life threatening nights which were so ‘dark’, depressing, intimidating, frightening and terrifying that I still shrug whenever I remember them. But the each moment after the initial scare in each event was so strengthening and out of ordinary that I was amazed at the poise, resilience and character that I showed. Never before I felt so brave and focused as I felt then. When we face obstacles , hindrances, difficulties and challenges it is a test, an opportunity, that is to show what we are made of and what we have not known and realized. Our lives are nothing but a continuous ascendance of character, a character which knows how to smile at challenges to thwart and frustrate fear.Akhtar Wasim Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635876866214567866noreply@blogger.com
