What do you fear (today)?

In line with my "when were you last truly happy" post, I wondered about what other people fear?

Is it an "every day fear", or is it a "just today" fear?

Do you fear getting out of bed? Do you fear opening the mail? Do you fear the phone ringing? Do you fear being alone? Do you fear the darkness descending? Do you fear confrontations? Do you fear rejection? Do you fear not feeling anything at all?

I wonder if just voicing that fear, sharing that fear, will help to take away it's power? Or will it give it life?

For me, my big fear at the moment is being found out. Fearing my kids or family will come across my posts. Fear a colleague will recognise my writing style or circumstances. Fear that someone will see through this big brave front I put on to get through the door each day. Fear that someone sees my vulnerability.

My fear today is my dear friend CMF will be so sad that she will forget all the times she made her friends feel safe, loved, and understood, Even though they are moving away ,maybe only for a while, maybe longer their lives and ours are richer for having CMF in their corner.

I fear that I will be overwhelmed that today is Fathers' Day and I lost my father 5 months ago.

Yes today will be hard for a lot of us today Ladyhawke

I posted about this on the Circle thread this morning

Be kind to yourself

Stressless

Yes, many of us will be preoccupied by who and what is missing in our lives today.

Thank you, Stressless. Take care. LH
