Of failing at something important. Which may, quite possibly, be why I am so shy of commitment. Or why I procrastinate. It is something I think of frequently… and try to fight.

What’s that saying? “Nothing to fear but fear itself.”

My Mom was afraid of everything. Snakes, too much Sun, automobile accidents that never happened,water, large dogs, small dogs, medium size dogs. She was not to fond of cats either now that I think about it.

When I was a very small child there was a accident near our house. During a rain storm a car with three teenagers ran off the road, the car flipped and all three drowned. Everytime we went by there Mom said something like..”This is where those poor kids drowned.” I’m 43 now and to this day when I drive by there I slow down!

Mabe its a “Mom Thing”. I don’t know, I don’t have any children. But I fear,fear. I now see how it affected Mom’s view of the world. A world thats mean, hostile and out to get you.

Which if you think about it, is pretty much true…... Damnit, she was right again!! I’m going to go lock my doors an load my pistol!!! :)

Ok, I am concerned about something happening to my baby.

I get upset if she’s just tired.

I get teary-eyed if she has a cold.

Her having a serious health problem or being broken or killed, while not being something I sit around thinking about, scares the shit out of me.
