"I get angry when I feel fear"

A little bit of fear is a good thing. Fear is our friend (just not a "best friend") as it allows us to be extra sharp and extra calm if you can manage it. The real killer is the result of fear (I'm an expert on this) and that is depression. This paralyzes and makes one grow into a fatalist. It'll make you soooo tired of the fight.

That's why I'm glad EternalHope stepped up to the plate. I wasn't up to retaking the same hill.

Great post!

With that, even though I'm a teensie bit afraid...

...but very aware, thanks to this thread...

I'm taking the family on the train to Chicago this afternoon.

Tonight, we'll spread a blanket on the lawn and listen to a classical concert in the park.

Tomorrow, a Cubs game at Wrigley.

It's a tradition, and THEY are NOT going to stop this family from doing what we love to do.

We will NOT be intimidated.

Take THAT al Qaida.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Prayers for my TM friends.
