What are three things you'd do tomorrow if fear wasn't stopping you?

I'm participating in a link up you can find HERE.

The question of the month is: What are three things you'd do tomorrow if fear wasn't stopping you?

My 3 Things Are:

1. I'm very afraid of heights. I was impressed with myself last year when I did a balcony tour at Mesa Verde. I was thinking, "They do tours all the time I'm safe" Nope! They had one balcony that had a wooden ladder that went to another balcony. Then the path had no rail. I was FREAKING out. Thankfully someone from another family (the Dad) was freaking out to. I didn't feel so alone. Also the raven that happened to fly, and land in their window distracted me. Let's just say that I listened to nothing the tour guide said. My mind was on my kids staying safe.

I'd do the tour again, only listen to the tour guide this time. It may be harder knowing what the tour is all about.




We had to walk right on that edge. YIKES!

2. Zip lining. It looks pretty, but ya fear gets in my way.

3. A day of rides. My boys all love rides like roller coasters and flying swings. Not me. I picture the swings flying off, and the coaster flying off the rail. I hate watching my boys on the rides. I think, "There goes my family." Seriously! BUT it would be nice to relax, and go on rides to have fun with them.

What about you? What are three things you'd do tomorrow if fear wasn't stopping you?

Four Things I Fear

  1. Climbing Fences. One time I was around 8 or 9 I was climbing a fence and my shorts got stuck on the top of it! I had the most uncomfortable wedgie. It had to be the most hilarious scene to a person viewing me!
  2. Going Down Stairs. My sister (Aunt Angela to the boys) tried to push me down them as a joke when we were younger. She probably only did this a few times. Of course the crappy experiences stick in your mind. I still go down them, but I feel like I'm going to fall down sometimes.
  3. Escalators. Going up or down an escalator is probably worse than stairs for me. Think about it, the edges are sharp metal pieces. Falling down an escalator could possibly be deadly. I was holding my cousin Megan on one when she was a baby. I needed an extra hand, didn't have one and almost dropped her! A man behind me grabbed my shirt. Such a relief! Mica and Isaak like to go up and down escalators for fun. It freaks me out. I used to always find an elevator when the boys were babies. There is no way I'd travel with them on one of those things!
  4. Roller Coasters. I imagine the coaster just riding right on off the track. I've read that more accidents happen on theme park rides then what gets reported. YIKES! I have gone on them. I don't like being the DUD in the group. The whole time I was thinking, I can conquer this! In all actuality obscenities where coming out of my mouth. Yep words I don't normally say!
I do like some adventurous type things. I like to climb, go on hikes, water slides, alpine slides, boat rides, ferris wheels and bumper cars are fun. I know ferris wheels can get stuck. At least if that broke, worse case scenario I'd be sitting at the top for a long while. The seat can't drive off like a roller coaster can.

What fears do you have?

I often wonder what Mica and Isaak are afraid of? We haven't been on too many rides. Isaak was scared of water slides a few years ago. He was little though! Mica likes the ferris wheel and water slides.
