I have been terrified of heights for most of my life. It started on a class trip in high school. We went on a trip to a steel manufacturing plant. We were chatting away, and suddenly I looked down and having not been aware we were on an open grid walkway, I saw molten steel below me and had the impression I was falling.
Never got over it.
Until a couple of years ago when I was actually able to climb up on our garage roof to clean the siding and roofing.
I was the mom who several times went up the ladder with her kids on a slide and then needed help getting down.
I was the woman who once climbed a ladder to clean her kitchen window and didn't get down for about an hour when I got someone to help me!
But now I have realized that a number of my fears have gone since I no longer have little ones depending on me.
I still don't hang out in high places, but I can actually talk myself up a ladder - which I did again today....to clean our siding.
Taking "clean the house" to greater heights!
And I am both impressed at myself and glad it's done!
