When it comes to being on my bike I feel really confident, as I should, since I’ve trained to race. I have practiced for countless hours. I KNOW my bike! Inside and out. But when it comes to writing a blog I am feeling a fair amount of uncertainty. This blogging is very new to me. I’ve never done it. I have to practice in front of you! YIKES!!! What if I sound silly? What if I am not clever enough? What if no one likes what I write? Believe me when I say, “there’s enough what ifs that at any moment I could easily slam down the cover on this laptop and walk away” but right now…. I am going to take a deep breath and think this through….Ohm Ohm Ohm…..There’s only one possible way the laptop remains open. I must summon up the courage and fearlessness to press on, one key at a time, one letter at a time , one word at a time. I must resist the the demons marching around the perimeters of my mind taunting those words “You are vulnerable!”. I will replace them with “I can do it. I can do it.” I’m still a bit scared and I think it would help if you would stay with me here. I need to know you won’t let me down. Could you reassure me that you are here while I hunt and peck my way along the blog road by…..um…. Posting a comment? Everyone needs a hand every now and then. I appreciate you holding mine. I did it. You can do it too! Posts away!
