So stumbling bumbling along through deployment would be classified physical courage. I give major props to those families that have a deployment over a year. I salute those who have lost loved ones to this never ending hell.
I had this blog all typed out in my noggin before I made it to the keyboard. Like clockwork now that I have made it to the keyboard, nothing. Here I sit here staring at my blank screen yet again.
Every time I start to type, my mind would became flooded with previous jolly memories of holidays past. Never were the gifts that important. Nor the food or decorations. Pass on Santa Claus and the Christmas music. It's all about the time and fun I have while spending it with loved ones. That's what's missing this year. I've had nobody to be my partner in crime for oh about, well a while now.
My physical courage is to beat this deployment hands down, while staring fear in its giant ugly face.
I will leave you with some quotes of courage.

My favorite quote.
