This morning, it was sunny when I went to the dental clinic. In the past, I've been afraid of dentists, but today, I was calm. I lay back in the chair and opened wide, completely relaxed. Three fillings and one hour full of drilling, suction, and bitter tastes later, I was happily making silly faces in my rear view mirror with numbed out lips. I would do it again tomorrow.
This afternoon, it started to rain. And then it thundered. When I was a child, a thunder storm was the cue to go hide in the stairwell, away from windows, doors, and electrical outlets. Today, I gave my vegetarian chili another stir (
secret ingredient: Diana Sauce) and enjoyed the shiver in my core.
Sometimes, it feels like I'm afraid of a lot, failure, rejection, regret. But on a day like today, I remember that many things don't scare me one bit.
