Jane Austen's Quote On Courage

Prompt: My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me. Jane Austen

I have had to have courage dealing with things at work and people trying to intimidate me whether they were patients I took care of, people I worked with or people in general. I try to be nice and do the right thing. I would only take so much and say what was on my mind and defend myself. I would follow rules but enough was enough. I tried to be nice, honest and things weren't easy. Families can be intimidating. My Dad's family I wouldn't put up with. My husband's family I just stayed away from but things are better now.

I am retired. I go to Church and Bible Study, am more religious and I do better with people. I am glad. I won't anyone push all my buttons. I feel I have a right to defend myself and not be intimidated. I still need courage to get through things. The Lord is with me on this. Courage and strength. We do need them. I can over come intimidation.
