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!
