Fear...thoughts from an old mom

[cookingwdenay]

Have you ever just thought, I can't do this or that? Have you ever felt like if I have to go through one more day of not fulfilling my dreams and hopes and aspirations I will just burst. I know it sounds silly but there are times when I just want to say, hey world, I am more than diapers, training pants, cookie dough and dinner at six. I just wonder if one of the biggest reason's many moms don't live their best life or "authentic" life (as Oprah would say) is because of that "f" word? You know f-e-a-r or as I like to call it false-evidence-appearing-real?

My baby is gone and grown and  living on her own and recently I asked myself what would I do if I knew I could not fail? What would I do if I had no fear? All of a sudden my red, white and blue mommie cape flew on and my hair was long and voluptuous and I was whisking up a divine meal, on the phone with Phil in the Hamptons where I would be experiencing Royal Catering Pains. Right?

Not! Unfortunately for some reason, those old feelings of "you can't do that, came back." Well back to my real life. Perhaps tomorrow!
