Kandy, I love that you took on the fear so that you could fully experience life! Congratulations! While you don’t have to do the jump again, you have the experience of facing down that fear to lean on next time another fear steps in front of you.

I took a zip-line tour that also included an optional controlled drop off of a cliff. I’m not sure the actual height of the cliff, but it looked like I would be jumping off the side of the Grand Canyon (that was my fear talking to me, it was actually around 20 or 30 feet!) I studied that cliff, watched other people in the group jump, contemplated jumping it, fully experiencing the fear it evoked. My initial response was that the only way I was jumping off that cliff was if they pushed my dead body off of it. As I stood there watching everyone laughing and celebrating after they jumped, my mind also brought forward all the times I’d chosen not to fully experience life because of fear. So, guess who walked up next, strapped in, gingerly stepped to the edge, and jumped ME!

Would I do it again Probably not! I was absolutely terrified and kept my eyes closed the entire time! That was quite enough adrenaline to last me a very long time! What I gained though, is priceless. I am proud of myself for facing my fear and jumping off of that cliff. I showed myself that fear doesn’t HAVE to rule my life and cheat me out of experiencing life. It’s a life lesson that I hope will give me courage when I face fear again.

Everybody achieves that, everyone should start with an achievement! Then I wash my hands, make coffee, and read the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s (USCCB) Scripture Readings for the day! I then love to get groomed, dressed, and go: I always schedule appointments for early AM so I have something to go to. Being retired is a blessing because anything I want to do can happen next: run errands, do the must-do today list, visit a friend, write a letter, take a nap, walk the dog, work on my book of memoirs titled Embers, sparks of memory that I know defined an image of God in me “he created them in his image, male and female, he created them.” (Gen 1: 27), if I am able to act as in the image, I know I am acting as intended. The last event of the day is self-reflection on the events of the day. And I begin again!

Agree on the lists. Letting go is often a great first step. I may take you up on hot yoga.

It’s true about morning routines but also about the lists we carry throughout our entire day. How many things are really important I get up at the crack of dawn to do hot yoga because it checks off the exercise and meditation boxes and generally makes me feel amazing. Come join me, Alignment Aree. Thank you, as always, for your wise words.
