Fear = Lack of Trust

really.

Was up in a man lift, and at 60 feet got nervous to walk to the low side to get the chainsaw. Really.
Knew it was dumb, but later was thinking about it and realized that because the lift was leaning so bad, I stopped trusting that it would not tip over. Once I didn't trust it, I became fearful. If I would have really believed that it wouldn't tip more, I would have run over there and grabbed the saw.


So what are we all afraid of? Stop and list your fears. For me, all of them come down to a lack of trust.

Lori and I were talking about this, and as we are fearful of the future, and all it may bring. I really think this is just our lack of trust showing.

I'd like to trust more.

Hmmmm.... Been a while

maybe this will be amusing for a bit.

It is now 1/3/11 and things are sill the same in some ways, and way worse in others.

After some first hand experience and observation, the best way to handle someone choking is to ignore them. Worse than getting food down the wrong pipe is the embarrassment that while you are in an uncontrolled fit, everyone is stopped, silent, concerned, and WatchinG....... that makes the choking part seem easy....... I am going to just do my best to carry on and then very privately keep watch in case something really does go wrong.... But as long as there are sounds, there really is nothing you can do anyway, so why not spare the indignity and just keep on.
