“Could be nerves or insecurity. Could even be the prospect of success after years of failure.”

Did Keli say it perfectly, or what? You’ve got my number, Billy. I don’t want to be paralyzed in front of the bad anymore.

I lived for so long afraid of the BAD…. it takes courage to face it. I am learning to find that courage. Thank you for the reminder to keep going.

Billy, I reckon I would be standing with mister Charles, as I really am allergic to bees. And Katdish, I wouldn’t even get outta the car if there was a clown doorman. My word, clowns and bees– I better find a new grocery store.

Blessings.

Like Melissa, I marvel at how fearless my kids are. They haven’t been beestung, they haven’t been broken-up with, they haven’t received a rejection letter or been turned down for a job. They see all the possibilities, while I see all the failures. Thanks for reminding me that the Big Bad might just fly out of my way…and even if it doesn’t, I’m not allergic to a sting.

Thanks, Billy. I needed this today.

“Could even be the prospect of success after years of failure…”

… decades …

How do you do it? … Talk about the things I don’t want to … and leave me feeling glad that you did?

Your post is the perfect exhale I need after my post today. Come visit with me and you’ll understand…

Thanks, Billy…

Well-written as always. Lots of motivational thoughts in this post. One that I felt compelled to share… and when that happens, there’s a reason. Good writing / thoughts is normally the reason. Thanks for the great story!

Wow Billy. This is wonderful! I realize the point is not the bee but I have a story about bees and my granddaughter. We have LOTS of bumblebees around here and I am HIGHLY allergic to them. Our 5 year old granddaughter Livi is scared of them and cries and swats at them and tries to run which just aggravates the bees more. I swallowed my fear and told her to just act like they weren’t there and the bees would act like she wasn’t there and leave her alone. It worked. She no longer freaks out on the bees by the back door. She just walks past them like they aren’t there
