This observation and encouragement is more than important me in my aging life. I realize that I have begun to defer or cancel altogether planned activities (especially travel) to which I was previously looking forward ~ at an alarmingly increasing rate. Because “I nervous.” Thank you for giving me a way to reassess my feelings and their labels. Although helicopters will always truly make ME nervous.
