Quote: SO...what is it about climbing that enables you to not think, just act and act successfully?
Is it confidence? Skills that you have built (training, exercises, etc) A belief that you will be ok even if you fail? A safety rope?
I think it is a combo of the above. I def. have confidence once I get up there, the safety rope sure helps! And, I guess I feel certain that i won't fail-or at least if I don't make it up a certain route, that it'll be ok, b/c I'll prob. get it in the next few weeks.
Thinking is my prob. If I am bored at work, or there is quiet time or whatever, my mind wanders. I'm finding that if I can re-focus on work or a task at home, then I can forget about whatever I was ruminating about. My new mgr. is being very supportive, and working with me so I can go to C appt's! Yes, I found a solution based C. I spoke with her on the phone about 15 mins, and set up an appt. for next Thursday.
Things have been decent w/hubby. I'm trying to be understanding of his back probs and not be too "demanding." The times that I have gotten upset we were able to get over in like 10 min!!! He is def. making strides, and ok, I am too! He is making a serious effort to touch me when I am upset. I know I should not rely on him to feel better, but it calms me down as opposed to the withdrawal causing me to freak out more.
I felt some jealousy at work today. A friend of mine is getting m. Her fiance has lotsa $$$. He sends her huge, expensive flowers to work, she's got a ring that I'd guess cost at least $10K, they are getting m in hungary where she is from. They went to Italy last year, etc. I know that I shouldn't want money over my sweet h, but... And he does bring me flowers home-just doesn't send them to work. $15 vs. $100, hmmm...It just seems like she has "everything." I don't know much about their lives at home together other than they spend every waking min. together. They are also celebrating the day they met tonight. I think they celebrate their dating anniv. and half year anniv's too. I like to do stuff like that, but the last couple times I brought up celebrating the dating anniv, h said that our Wedding Anniv. supercedes the others...but, things were also much worse then...
