Yesterday, I was to go to Salt Lake City to celebrate my birthday with my sons & Rachel. Shortly, before I left, it started snowing quite heavily. I didn’t venture far before I pulled over to call my son to check on weather conditions in Salt Lake City. He filled me in that it was snowing quite heavily there as well. Since I’m currently dog sitting, I decided to turn around. I was concerned what the road conditions could be like after a movie & dinner- by then they might be requiring chains or 4 wheel drive (I have neither) and/or possibly shut down the canyon due to an accident.
OK…here’s my dilemma…Was I allowing fear to inter”fear” with living fully or was it wisdom- after all, I’m a year older & hopefully a bit wiser as well…
We do tend to be our own worst critics, don’t we? Maybe I need to cut myself a little slack- it’s only been 7 months since my car was totaled in an accident…(June 21, 2019 blog) In cases like this, I wish I could treat myself more compassionately like I would a friend. Actually, I think this will be my birthday gift to myself as well as my New Year’s resolution.
Best wishes to all of you as we progress through 2020- may our “joy”ney be filled with lots of memorable moments…
