Being strong isn't something you choose to do, It's something your forced to do when being weak isn't an option.

How can any of us really be weak? No No No
I think we become stronger and stronger every day! We live through Pain, Guilt, Loneliness, Depression, Frustration , you name it!!! No one here, no matter how little they are able to do physically, is weak!!
If your here, and you give someone a hug of support...that is strength...that through your pain you can reach out in love to someone else.
I think you took the quote too literal!

I think we tend to forget that just by facing each day with all our ailments and pain is strength in itself....and to be able to come to this site and offer support during our own times of suffering is double the strength...how many people are out there that cannot do this?

Thanks, Dix....you're probably right about the too literal thing.
Probably bein' over-sensitive 'cause I don't see myself as strong right now.....but you and Sis are both right....there is a lot of strength in the little things.
Thanks.....hugs.....jc..
