It’s amazing, isnt it? The way fears seem so irrational after you get over them. They can make us shrink so far into ourselves that we become temporarily paralyzed, and then we work up the courage to do something once and it’s the easiest thing in the world.

this is really touching

just…lovely

“So I made myself a pet dog – he didn’t bite.”
i found that kinda funny. reminded me of how people have pet rocks, so that was a few steps ahead of it =]
I LOVE the ending – “If I can surmount my fears, anyone can.”
..brilliant.

Very true.
I agree the only cure for your fears is to face them head on.

I’m just curious how you made the dog.

This was very wonderful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

paper mache(sp?) and it didn’t bite.
