I have so many fears, I can’t keep track of them and that makes me fearful.  

I fear running out of money.  I’m guessing that most people fear being poor.  Do you feel that way? 

I don’t fear being unable to work and make money.  Ok, I fear making enough money to finish paying for my son’t college.  I am so proud that I have paid for a good amount of his college.  I am 59 and a half and have another good 10 years to work at full capacity.  I fear the age of 69 and a half because I worry I will have slowed and not be able to produce an income to support myself.  And, what if I have to support my son too? more fear.  

I have suggested to my lady friends, that we should all cohabit after we are on medicare.  They laugh but agree it may be a good solution.  One house over looking water (beach access,) with a maid, cook, chaffer, massage therapist, maintenance man (pool boy,) on-call nurse.  It would reduce my fear of living alone once I am “over the hill.”

I don’t fear running out of gas in my car.  I am very good at keeping the gas tank full.  I do however, fear getting a nail in my tire and having a flat tire on the highway.  I fear gaining weight but I don’t fear losing weight.  

I fear everything to do with parenting!  However, I am very lucky that my friends compliment me on being a good parent to my son, this helps ease my fears.  I wish I could stop looking at what I still need to do for my son and appreciate all I have accomplished.  So why don’t I relax and lose the fear?  

I have always believed, that fear, is a good motivator.  Do you use fear as a motivator?  Do you ever find yourself in a fear frenzy?  Why do you think there was the program called Fear Factor? Me, I was too afraid to watch it.   Lol.

How do you manage your fears?  Don’t be afraid to share them with me…we can get through this together. 

Boo. I scared myself.
