This is my first post...I will write more about the events that has led me to start this blog but for today I wanted to write about...
Facing one of my fears - driving in snow.
For anyone that has known me...if it's white out (snow or any trace of snow) I don't go out. You think living in Colorado and having a 4 wheel drive I'd be ok to do this. But sad to say...I'm a big chicken!!!
So...looking outside my sliding glass door, with fear ripping through my heart. I was to be meeting a friend for lunch. The though was "do I go out (possibly wrecking my car) and have a wonderful lunch or do I stay at home (again) because I'm afraid?
Well...I said "I'm tired of being afraid and if I do damage on my car I guess I need to call AAA" (since I've had their service and luckily have never had to use it).
I went...and happy to say...lunch with my friend was wonderful and I made it home just fine. I'm even going back out AGAIN!!!! Call me crazy!!!!
I'm thankful that I faced that fear (will still be cautious) but that's one thing I can put down as having done! My life is going to be many new things I have to face alone... and today I just proved to myself that I can do this.
One down...many more to go.
