I was not always brave when it came to water. When I was 8 yrs old I lived in Petaluma for a short time. My 10 yr old sister had a friend who lived on the other side of the river.One day we were going to her house which meant crossing the draw bridge. They walked across and turned around to find me still on the other side.My sister was not very happy with me; so I tried to get a little braver. I looked each way up and down the river and saw no boats,and the cars were still driving across;so I ran like a thief ! I have no recollection of how I got home. I've had to call on that bravado a lot in the last 6 yrs.

Oh Barbara, sometimes it is so hard to be brave! Sorry I took so long to reply, been laid up but now back to the usual. Haven't looked through the posts yet, hope you are coping OK with your journey. What a courageous person you are! Your experience with crossing the bridge is a great parable. Just tie another knot and hang on. I was not quite as successful facing a scary water problem when I was also 8; my father wanted me to cross a lake with him in a canoe! Was so terrified I almost passed out cold. No bravado there. Well, that's water under the bridge! Let me check my posts later, and Barbara, you really give me hope for the future! Peggy
