I’ve written before on some fears I’ve overcome, and how I did it. – But the daily prompt insists on asking it again.

For a while after retirement, I thought the number of fears I had were increasing. Now a couple of years into it, I feel less fear than I did before.

Some have changed. I used to drive back and forth to Washington DC and some of the busiest surrounding areas. So, driving in some of the most congested and dangerous areas was nothing. Now the beltways and interstates aren’t that comfortable anymore now that I’m not competing in the daily death race back and forth to work.

As I was getting into my 50s, I used to fear getting older and sick again. That fear is faded because I guess we all eventually accept the inevitable. I just make the best of each day now.

I never feared speed before. I don’t think I fear it now; I just don’t have that desire anymore. I don’t think it’s out of fear, but I guess anything is possible.

You ever stop fearing for your children or grandchildren. I just spend as much time loving them and with them and that helps.

I used to fear people who I thought were super intelligent. Then I realized that most of them have big deficiencies in other areas.

The thing that scares me the most now are those ads for these meds with all the nasty side effects like death and things like that yet living. I hope I never have a need for them.

My main fear now is the messed-up world we are leaving our children with. I’m going to try to overcome that fear by working on changing it for the better.
