Mission Accomplished

Greetings,

Hope all is well in the cyber realm : )
Today was a pretty good day. Crisp fall weather, the trees turning color. A little success story for Agoraphobia Gurl.
All week I have been dreading down the hill, all the way down the hill. This was given to me as an assignment by Dr. Hook (yeah, she does have sexy eyes) "Life Coach". I figured since I was going to go all the way down the hill(remember the last post where I got trapped 3 blocks away at the Salvation Army) I should be able to cross the busy street and go to Walgreen's to get my meds. Well I just couldn't do it. I would start thinking about it as soon as I got up and I would just psych myself up so bad I would panic before I ever left the door.
Today I was going to go to the end of the street (agoraphobia is so lame). Dr. Hook gave me a mission and I needed to complete it, plus I wanted to take a picture of the guitar statue down the hill really bad! As I left the house I said good bye to Dean and I slightly misunderstood what he said to me (which naturally I didn't figure out till I got home and asked him for clarification...however this ends up being a good thing) I was a little pissed but I put my head phones on and started walking, it really was a beautiful day! I got to the bottom of the hill! I took the picture! I kept going...
As I hit the clock tower my heart started to pound, it felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest! But I kept going. I walked over to the Celtic Gypsy to see if it was open yet (nope). I crossed at Main and going straight would have been the quicker option however two more guitars were further up Main, so I continue. I am strutting up Main and take my pictures. I kept going. I turn on to East, yes my chest is still thumping but I am kind of on the home stretch. I swing up Arcadian, strutting again and jamming to my tunes. My Mom and Dad's house is in view, my sister is pulling into the driveway and I make some strange hand symbol some where between Bender's fist in the air at the close of The Breakfast Club and some thing Jeff Spicoli (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) would do. I don't know...it is my story okay Mr. Hand. I thought just a little bit further. I went down Beechwood. Home to Robby and Terri, The Scarces, Trish, and of course Tammy...and I turned around and went back to my Moms and sat on what's left of my Parents front stairs. It was a good day. Thanks for the ride home my Sisters : )
Thanks for the assignment Dr. Hook : )

Love and Light!
