It always feels weird to scrap a layout about myself, and then when it's time to post to all the galleries, etc. I feel even more awkward. But, I guess it proves that I exist in some form.


I've been afraid of heights for as long as I can remember. I remember one trip to our state capitol and we were on the upper floor and as I looked down I just go so nervous and had to stay as far away from the railing as I could. Even having the railing there didn't seem to do enough for the fear that consumed me.


That fear has lessened up a bit with time, but I still have some of that fear and it rears its ugly head from time to time. One of those places is at pumpkin patches, with their haystacks. Only one of my kids has shown a fear of heights like me, the rest of them with climb up the haystacks throwing caution into the wind. And until a couple years ago, none of the kids have told me to join them.


When we were at the pumpkin patch in 2020, one of my little guys yelled at me to join them. He was so excited and was having so much fun that he wanted to share it with his mom. I really wanted to tell him no, but I'm trying to be more involved and to say yes a little more often. So, I gathered all my courage and climbed that haystack. I felt it was a worthwhile thing to scrap about.
