Fear of new things

I never thought of myself  as "getting old" until the other day.  A friend of mine had been badgering me about my lack of participation in Active Rain.  And I realize now that I did not want to try it because I knew nothing about it!  I felt behind the eight ball because of the "unknown", and a little bit like a stick in the mud, or "old fuddy duddy".  I have to say that I got a better understanding this morning from a simple conversation with Fran today, beginnings as it were, and I will be diving into the water head first!  Updated my profile, posted my first blog.....I don't know what I can accomplish next..... Maybe I'll leap tall buildings in a single bound!   

I use this turtle picture for a reason.  Yes, I was reluctant at first, and maybe got out of the gate slowly, but, at a steady pace, I have a shot at being a winner of the race too!   I already feel like a winner.  I have just been able to scratch an item off my "to do" list that has been there forever!
