Afraid in my "old age"
When I was younger I was a real go getter. I was brought up that if I saw someone who needed help, I should help. If I knew that someone needed something, I should supply it. If I was put in charge of something like getting volunteers for supplying meals for someone, I often ended up doing most of it. I always needed to be the first to volunteer, even to my own detriment, and the last to leave. Not that there is anything really wrong with that, but I sometimes put my family on the back burner. I became quite proud of myself and what I did. Thanks to my wonderful husband I have learned how to say no and that it is ok to NOT do everything every time.The funny thing is that I am quite accident prone, and until I broke my wrist, I never really thought much about all the silly things that happened to me. On Friday night I sliced the tip of my thumb off. See, if had done what I was supposed to and put on a cut glove I wouldn't have had to pick up the chunk and throw it into the trash, after I stopped the blood that is. I stayed calm and kept thinking just how stupid I was.
Afterwards I got kind of scared and wondered if I am just going to end up killing myself by some stupid accident instead of getting to die in my sleep like I would prefer. I have to admit that that was the first time I have every been afraid of something like that. I don't care for the feeling too much, hopefully I just become more cautious instead of bound up in fear.
