oh! ☹ I am the Cowardly Lion! The Cowardly Lion You sometimes find yourself responsible for greater tasks than you would prefer. Always remember that challenges are life’s way of helping you grow, and that mistakes are life’s way of telling you how to grow. Remember also that courage is not the lack of fear when faced with danger (that’s called stupidity). Courage is the strength, character, and tenacity to face one’s fears and do what needs to be done. ---

Uncle Henry You are dependable and honorable. You pour your heart into work for yourself and your family or friends, content in the knowledge that the work they do for you and the appreciation they have for you is all the thanks you need. Throughout your life, many people will take comfort in your strength. When you wonder if their confidence is unjustified, do not try to lessen their faith in you, but instead rise to their expectations. ---

Ha! > [@](#): > > Great strength can be derived from your unbounded ambition. Your sense of purpose transcends the petty needs of those around you. A healthy distrust of people makes you difficult to deceive. You see animals (and people) for the vermin they really are! Watch your back (many people envy your power), and obey the speed limit when crossing bridges. …and your little dog too! ---

Here’s one that hasn’t been mentiond: The site says I am… The Horse of Many Colors You are a visible and essential part of many endeavors you participate in, but often visitors give you only a minute’s notice. However, those that you work with are aware of how indispensable you are, even if they don’t show it on a regular basis. …and I agree. How very thought-provoking! ---

**Pencepon** , in addition to good taste in mysteries (I hope – I’m the person who drew your name in the Book Swap), we apparently share secret identities. Just another Glinda checking in.
