Comments on: Nothing to fear http://www.topofthemountains.net/2007/01/19/nothing-to-fear/ "Hitch your wagon to a star." —Ralph Waldo Emerson Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:14:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Ben http://www.topofthemountains.net/2007/01/19/nothing-to-fear/#comment-19582 Ben Sun, 21 Jan 2007 03:55:04 +0000 http://www.topofthemountains.net/2007/01/19/nothing-to-fear/#comment-19582 The risk with brave thoughts is that we actually go through with whatever it is that's got us nervous, and when we realize what we've done it's really easy to second-guess ourselves. That's when I start singing "Into the Fire" (from <i>The Scarlet Pimpernel</i>) or "The Impossible Dream" (from <i>The Man from La Mancha</i>) or "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go" or "I Need Thee Every Hour" (from the hymnbook). :) And yes, fear wreaks havoc on the digestive system.

That was the idea that came into my head yesterday after having a day filled with fear (which doesn’t help your digestive system at all). I read a quote from "As a Man Thinketh", and I decided it wasn’t too risky to "think" brave thoughts. Only problem is, now as I’m off to go to a square dance in a half hour, I’m thinking that maybe brave thoughts aren’t such a good idea. :) Ben,

But not all. Thanks. :) Some of my nervousness has gone away, for reasons which will become apparent in my next post (which is due within the next couple of hours, depending on when I get all this ward conference prep work done).

Monday it shall be. And if she ends up reading this, let me blush in advance. :) LOL, was it that obvious? ~sigh~ :) To my credit, I did try last night, but no answer. Monday it shall be.
