[quote=Normacharlie]I was always a chicken too! If I hadn't married a sailor who went into Submarines I still would be! I can't do everything perfectly but I can drive across country by myself and not be scared and boy can I pack boxes!
I don't know why I was like that - just scared of everything up until my husband died - then, it was like nothing scared me any more. I quit work and started a business w/ 2 other girls from work - it was like a piece of cake! Never in my dreams would I ever have thought I could do that let alone pay my bills by working for myself!
Now, if I see something I think I'd like to do I try it (well, if I can afford it, but I'll save up for things). I want to try making soap - not afraid, but have to gather up stuff and hubs says he will help w/ the lye part.
I also don't care what strangers think when they see me, either. Used to take hrs to get ready to go out - trying on clothes etc. Now, I look like a bag lady sometimes running to the grocery - but am in the middle of things and cant stop to dress up - lol sharet
