Eight: Fears

8. Losing my job.

With the economy in such a turmoil, losing my job ranks high on my list of fears.

7. Death.

Notsomuch me. Death of a close friend or loved one.

I know that it is part of this life that we live, but I am ill at the thought of those situations ahead.

6. Failure.

I'm a perfectionist. I do not like to fail. At anything. If I don't think I'll be good at it, I don't do it.

5. 30.

I lost 30; I never want to see those 30 again.

4. Close spaces.

I am better now that I am older.

However, there were many years of my life that I would not step foot in an elevator.

3. Not living up to my potential.

I feel like I have a lot to give and a lot to offer.

I want to be the best wife. The best sister. The best daughter. The best friend. The best employee.

2. Intruder

I fear an intruder of my home, my belongings, my body.

1. Falling.

 I love to hike and I like to live life on the edge,

but I surely don't get too close to fall over the edge of that literal or figurative cliff.
