What are the rigidities or fears that are preventing you from living the rest of your life to the fullest?

One of of mine is my driving phobia of many years. I am seriously planning to get over that. Of course, that's another thing that can take the air out of your life balloon--too much planning over the actual doing. :gettowork:
 

Like Olivia, I would say driving. It was so easy to let the hubby drive whenever we went someplace. Now that we are retired he does all the driving,even to the grocery store. I like to put flowers on the family graves which is only 50 miles away. I liked going by myself and linger awhile. Just a few years ago I had no problem doing that. Now I wouldn't dream of going myself.

I'm not sure it's a good thing to force myself into driving more. I'm very nervous and I think it could cause accidents.
 

Medical problems-the doctors and the family don't like me to be alone. The doctors are not wild about me driving anymore so I get a bit of induced nervousness. The doctors say I am medically "fragile", and while I try to fight this label, it's hard. It's made me more of a homebody than I should be.
 
I do most of the driving but do get my wife behind the wheel every so often, mostly on local, familiar roads. I hate to see her lose her ability and confidence since the day may come that she will have to drive herself, although the kids will most likely take her wherever and whenever she needs to go someplace.

High speed traffic doesn't bother me (yet) but unfamiliar areas are becoming difficult if in heavy traffic.

I don't have any 'rigidities or fears'

I did what my phone told me to do with the extra baggage when it said it was maxed out

I put it in the cloud

I could clearly see since the rain left

I could see all the obstacles that were in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day



I looked all around
Huh, pretty much blue skies
