Meeting Challenge #4


For 40 years I have made excuse after excuse to avoid getting on a plane.  I have missed out on how many opportunities because of a ridiculous fear of something I have never even tried.  Well very early tomorrow morning I am biting the bullet and getting on my first plane ever.  I had actually put this down as one of my personal I Ho Chuan Challenges, but quite confidently thought to myself that I could get out of it easy with a very legitimate excuse (have to work, no babysitter, $...).  Up to this point I have stuck with holidays that I could drive to (or if need be, could have swam).  I have held back not only myself but my entire family from some great opportunities and experiences because I couldn’t go past my own back yard. 

Enough is enough!  I have finally decided that there are things I want to do, things I want to see, things I want to be a part of that are going to require me to get past this fear.  So I write this now when I should be sleeping.  We have to be at the airport for three in the morning but I can’t sleep, getting a little nervous the closer it gets!
