Brave?

I was texting with a girlfriend today about the new life that I am embarking upon.  We were talking about my upcoming trip to California, and all that I am going to see and learn there, and I laughed and told her that this year I would find out how brave I really am -- and this was her reply:

"You are a wonderful person who deserves the life she is passionate about and to be embraced and loved by people who value your skills and respect and trust you as a human being. That isn't brave, that is called going "home" to the life that supports you on all levels."

It made me cry.   

Apparently I have friends who are having profound thoughts while they are walking around a convention hall, texting on their phones. I'd better step up my game...!  LOL  I hope she at least had to step into a quiet corner to tap out that message...
