What a fun weekend. Busy, busy, busy! A trip to the farm for stuff, live music, coffee with the ’71 Divas, a five mile kayak trip around Middle Island, a trip to Blennerhassett Island with a friend, grocery shopping, and a cookout. Only two days left to get everything done. I have always worked well under pressure but this is ridiculous! lol

In the midst of chaos, I found peace on the river. I told a friend of mine how I’ve always been afraid of water and really afraid of a kayak. Then, the first morning, I just got in and paddled like I’ve been doing it forever. My friend said, “I thought you were scared of the water?” I called back, “Yeah…well, I’m ok now!” It was nothing like I envisioned. It was smooth and so, so peaceful. Of course, my arms were really sore after the five mile trip, but after 12 hours, they were much improved.

What is a fear you have conquered?
