Friday

Greetings

I was thinking about going out to see my friend Chuck play this weekend again but after opening up my 350.00 energy bill, I guess I will be staying home.

Seriously was not expecting that, I had to go meditate and listen to some soothing music, which improved my mood some. I have been cold all winter, my windows are all wrapped in plastic, and 350.00. Please keep in mind my house is the size of an apartment basically, a really small 2 bedroom house, everything on one floor...I mean REALLY.

Prior to opening the mail I had a lovely lunch with just me and my Dad. We rarely do that so it was nice.

Phobia Fun Fact:

Medically, phobias are classified as an anxiety disorder. Phobias are generally divided into five types:

1. Phobias of animals (snakes, spiders, dogs)
2. Phobias of the natural environment (thunder, lightening, water)
3. Phobias of blood / injection / injury ( seeing blood, getting a shot, going to the dentist, or having a medical procedure)
4. Phobias that are situational (high places, driving, flying)
5. Other phobias are phobias that don't fit into any of the other four categories (fears of swallowing, blushing, or vomiting).

Agyrophobia: fear of crossing streets, highways and other thoroughfares; or fear of streets themselves. Agyrophobia comes from the Greek "gyrus" meaning turning or whirling.

 

Gephyrophobia: fear of crossing bridges. Their fear can be a combination of claustrophobia (fear of close spaces) and acrophobia (the fear of heights). Phobic drivers may worry so much about being in an accident or losing control of their vehicles that they avoid driving or actually create the very accident they are trying to avoid. High bridges over waterways and gorges can be especially intimidating. Very long or narrow bridges can also be particularly problematic. When I was seven years old we drove to Disney World in Florida. Although I did not have a phobia of bridges, I do remember feeling a sense of anxiety while travelling on the bridges that seemed to go for miles over the Everglades. Fear of bridges is a relatively common phobia. "Gephyrophobia" comes from the Greek words "gephyra" which means bridge. Also listed as Gephysrophobia.

 

I have been going out and running my errands, I faced the Wal-Mart again. I had the crushing in my chest, shakes, and all of that wonderment, but I managed. I did not run. I finished my shopping as normally as any one else who goes into a Wal-Mart.

 

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Try to do something for you. Try to do something positive, and most of all try and have some fun.

 

Love and Light.
