I conquer fear… hmm.. I don't really think that I do. I'm terrified of fish and I vow I will never try to conquer that fear. I won't eat them, won't look at them (even goldfish), won't swim in lakes, won't appreciate an aquarium. In fact, I'm quite content with being afraid of them. I don't ever see us being friends.
I feed my soul by… hiking. I bought a year pass to the state park this summer and have really enjoyed going there on a weekly basis. A friend and I hike a 4 mile path on Thursdays that at the mid-point has a waterfall which is incredible (I think I posted a picture of this in a previous post). I also just found out that Lisa Simpson-Rambo (Biggest Loser - Season 14) will be hosting a bootcamp each Monday this summer with a pre-hike at the park so am even MORE excited about my season pass. YAY!
I used to worry about ____ but then I … I used to always be concerned about what people thought of me. I worried about my outward appearance, what people thought of my personality and would be so stressed out in social situations. Although I'm not nearly as confident and self-assured as I would like to be, I am much more mature about how to handle myself than I was years ago.
Prompts for WEEK 23 (June 11) are:
The best compliment I ever received …
Wearing red lipstick makes me feel …
The best investment I’ve made …
My best childhood memory …
You sound like my husband and Adam reminds me of me.....amazing how two people, so different from each other, make a relationship work. It's one of the many "quirks" about us. Embrace it and be proud of it. Besides, as Polly Anna Social Butterfly as I can be, sometimes staying home in my jammies is all I want to do too. HA! Two thumbs-up for the park and waterfall and summer boot camp. I half-heartedly watched "Extreme Weight Loss" last night while feeding and entertaining Kamden. Amazing stories, amazing transformations. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that show!! I have it on my DVR. I would love for Chris's wife Heidi to be my trainer! Did you see last week how fabulous she looked after having a baby? And that's baby #3 I think?! She's incredible.
DeleteI totally have that same fear of lake swimming! I've slowly gotten over it in the past few years (by getting over it I will just stay in one spot in the water and not swim around). TV shows like River Monsters don't help either. Terrifying!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad I am not the only one. Good for you for trying to get over it. I'm completely okay swimming in chlorine :)
DeleteI totally miss great places to hike and trees. Texas is just a little to flat.
ReplyDeleteAhh yes... But when you can go for a nice stroll in December Texas is a wonderful place to be!
DeleteI like to swim in water that I can see the bottom. LOL So while I love swimming in the ocean, it does make me a little nervous! I love hiking! Sounds amazing with the waterfalls. And you and I had the same answer for the last question. I find that a lot of us bloggers are very similiar! XO
ReplyDeleteYou are brave! While you can see the bottom you still do not know what is lurking in deeper water that might come up and get you.. or me. Even minnows. Ewwwww!
DeleteThe waterfall sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog.
I don't swim where I can't see what is swimming with me.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteHiking sounds like so much fun. I would love to do that this summer but I don't know of any place in my area to hike.
ReplyDeleteI love hiking and yes it does just feed your soul, your mind and your body. Not only are you getting an amazing workout, but you are out in that lovely thing called nature and soaking it in.
ReplyDeleteI think opposite attracts is what pulls in most of my relationships, including my husband. Yes, learn to love it again, its needed!
