Poop talk and beyond - split-off from Honour and Recap thread

[glance left]

Just some personal gestures....simple little moments.....mostly facing fear, which is the over-riding theme of the challenge of my life, seemingly.  The "thorn in my side" so to speak.  Agreeing to speak in front of others when asked....and doing it in the face of blind fear/panic.  Performing "on stage" like this many many times while wading through that panic.  Getting beat up in front of a crowd in middle school....then going back and facing that crowd day after day at school afterwards....the heat of embarrassment/ridicule.  Doing CPR on some guy in full cardiac arrest in front of a large crowd of people.....fear....intensity.   Homesick while at summer camp...and finding something within to rally and intend a shift to be able to go on a week long canoe trip and enjoy it...seeing the fear melt away magically.  This is stuff that every kid goes through....and every adult-who-is-still-just-a-kid goes through.  All those unsung heroes.  And, don't get me wrong....I've shrunk away from fear.....avoided it wholesale....just as many times. 

I think everyone has "honorable moments" which they can hook onto
