I'm doing 40 things
I want to go somewhere – anywhere – by myself. Surprisingly to some, this is the hardesting thing on my list to accomplish. Mostly because it’s completely dependant on me, and I’m scared to death to even try it. It’s not about going somewhere, it’s what am I going to do when I get there? I’m not social. I probably won’t strike up conversations with interesting people in a coffee shop, find a great dress in a small boutique, have a crazy experience that will have people crying-laughing for years, or write a best-selling book about my adventures. I will probably get dinner in a corner of a restraunt with a book, go back to my hotel, and watch the same TV shows I watch at home. I’m so chicken! But will this cure me? Will facing my fear make it disappear? I don’t know. I want to know, to find out, but here I am BLOGGING about going instead of Google searching somewhere to go. What does that tell you?

It's stupid, but I really want it!

No, I don’t need it. No, I don’t get paid more. Yes, it’s expensive and I have to pay for it. No, I really don’t have a GOOD reason. Why get it? I feel “less than” without it!

I know how, but I never do. I need to not waste it! AND I need to enjoy it. AND I will not get frustrated if I suck!
