I read my one and only blog and will write another.  Again about fear.  My friend&#039;s son died.   Made me think about life and what I would want to be saying on my death bed.  Would I want to be saying I wish I did this or that but I was too afraid at the time? <br />
Today I read an article about Crete, one of the Greek Islands.  I want to go live there for some time, like two months or three.  <br />
I hope I have enough courage to do it.  I would not want to be wishing I did as I lay dying or am in the nursing home, too feeble to move.  <br />
What am I so afraid of?  The details???<br />
Like what would I do with my house?  and the cat?  and the car?  and the bills?<br />
And my job?  <br />
Curage enough to think that I would find another job if mine were not waiting for me when I got back.  Or faith enought to believe that it will all work out.<br />
In the mean time, I am working on unconditionally loving and acepting myself each and every day in each and every way.<br />
So, I love myself for being afraid.  I love myself for having a dream. <br />
Yesterday, I loved the me that was hating me and putting me down.  That was fun.  <br />

Am worried about all sorts of things.  Like will some people I know read this and know it is me?  And why do I care?  I seem to want to be able to publish with anonymity.  <br />
So, here I have submitted my first blog about having trouble blogging.  And am wishing I has the courage to write what I really feel.<br />
