You are truly blessed by such beautiful scenery. :) And I love this: “I love the fight to not quit and to push through despite the pain and fatigue. And I need to conquer my fears.” Shouldn’t we all feel this way?! Keep pressing on! God bless!

My fear? Spiders. There’s something unnatural about an insect with 8 legs that has the ability to spin such elegant webs of deception. How do I go about facing my fears? If Im at home: That’s easy, I call pest control, grab a cup and cover up the spider.Or- have a family member “take care of it”. Out of site out of mind. If I’m out doors? You know the seven stages of dying? I go through something like that : Denial: What spider? There’s no spider. Anger: Why did God make spiders?! I hate, hate spiders. Maybe I should stomp on it. Bargaining: If Don’t freak out. Just run. As an award for being brave- I can take myself shopping.New shoes would be nice. Guilt: I can’t believe I thought about killing it. I can’t kill it. What if he has a family? I can’t cause any living creature pain. Im horrible! Acceptance: There’s a spider. It’s going to be okay. It knows I’m here and I know he’s There. As long as I don’t bother him-he won’t bother me. Then, I go back to stage one. Shock/ disbelief: Im terrified. This can’t be happening. At this point, I walk around it at a safe distance or take a detour.
Maybe one day Ill find a more effective way to go about facing my fears :)

Love your candid humor! I think we’ve all felt out of shape. Then, seemingly easy choices become hard. Like, yoga? Or another chocolate chunk cookie? The cookie wins hands down! Every time. ;) . I’m post-injury and not back to a regular routine… Thanks for your ideas and words of encouragement!
