I've already mentioned I don't like heights or bridges. Well here's another one- I don't like climbing over rocks either. Perhaps that's not really too much of a surprise- it's another one with the basic potential for falling after all.
I am trying really hard not to let my fears get in the way. Today we went geocaching at Helman Tor (http://adventuresingeoland.blogspot.com/2011/04/geocache-and-earthcache-at-helman-tor.html) and I climbed right to the top with everyone else. Coming down was trickier- my left knee isn't that strong and I just had to ask for help- any excuse to hold hands with my husband is what I'll tell the rest of the world...
I got this quote from Greatest Minds on Twitter - "Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it." - W. Clement Stone. I like that idea a lot... When I need help climbing I will ask rather than not try.
It's a good feeling to face your fears and win through!
It will be worth applying that to other aspects of life too, whether they involve work, domestic matters or crafting and hobbies.
Until next time
Gillian
