I would drive to Missouri and go to my daughters house and knock on the door.

There are many things I would have liked to have done, but health care problems and lack of money have created many obstacles for me in life.... no regrets though really. I am happy with what I have and where I have been. Afraid, not so much, just realistic about my limitations.

I would stop worrying about and dreading the inevitable confrontation with my family and attend a church that I choose and am comfortable with.

I would travel either by plane or by car. I would be terrified to fly and for the last few years I have gotten to where I am terribly nervous on the roads. I would love to travel this country. When I was younger I could have done it but could not afford it and was busy raising three children. Now that I can afford it, I am to scared to get on the road. I have been involved in three accidents, none of which were my fault, and had an 18 wheeler(driver) try to run over me. No idea why but, I left the road at 65 mph to keep from getting run over. Cannot stand to be in front of a truck.

This is kind of silly, but I would be able to hop on any of my horses bareback and just go for a ride. I am so envious of those who canter bareback...I am too afraid of the ground .

From my experience- Don't count on it!
I've just had to realize I have a deficit! LOL
That's okay!
We both have many things we're good at- Yes?

I'm thinking, maybe it helps to look at what you've already faced down and survived.

It doesn't work with everyone!
With this last storm, I had a neighbor call me a littlt before 10 PM.
She had left the day before and was set up in a motel!
She wanted me to let her know if the electric went out in thr night.
I literally started laughing! She said "I don't handle stress well".
Which made me laugh even harder!
You see, she knows I've been dealing with shingles on my face and have been pretty miserable with it.
Some folks should just stop focusing on themselves!
I should send her some inspiration from some of the threads here!

I remember a quote that courage isn't the absence of fear ....it is feeling it and doing it anyway.
My situation is forcing me to do exactly that.

I would write a memoir and have it published. I want to be an open book. Not that a little mystery isn't good. here's to writing!

I would deepen my surrender to God and his will for me. I can always do more and every day there are little (or big!) hurdles that could be overcome easier if I gave it over quickly instead of holding on, having pain, THEN giving it over.

I would take this musical talent of mine and actually play for a living! (Scared of being laughed at)
I'd go to culinary school ,because so many people tell me that I should, but scared of how my family would do without me (good or bad)
Open my own restaurant with or without the culinary school.

Hubby and I would walk away from our jobs and use our retirement/nest egg to buy that property in Colorado we've been dreaming of for years. We'd have more animals than I can even begin to imagine and a garden the size of a small state. Unfortunately, financial realities exist... Hopefully, we'll get there someday.
