I think our primal animal brain makes us afraid. It's normal & natural. The trick is to not let it unduly restrict us.

It is enough to stop one doing anything, going anywhere. Think about how, in our youth, we embarked upon the most dangerous of journeys! Then, we went our separate ways, risking life and limb to flight and shipping hazards! (And all the time I thought you fearless!) Today, we can stay home and watch the good and the bad on tv (perhaps feel safer) until mother nature knocks on our door, or one's neighbor blows his/her top to eternity. I am going for my daily Zoloft pill, so I can deny the potential perils that still might deter one last adventure before I fall off my perch! May you see as many more years as you want, knowing that it is possible to survive the dooms and glooms that can be exorcized in a poem, and not in a pill! Happy 80 Brenda!
