My girlfriend's birthday was this past Sunday. We did some shopping, went to dinner, had some pink champagne, and I even made her favorite cake...German chocolate. For those of you who know me at all, you know I don't cook...or bake...or make toast for that matter. Not my thing. I will set off the smoke alarm more often than not. : )
But she said the cake was good so I was very pleased with myself!
For her gift, I got us two tickets for a hot air balloon ride. She had told me that was something she always wanted to do. The funny thing...she is scared of heights.
That is something about her that I really admire. She doesn't hesitate to do what she needs (or wants!) because of fear or discomfort. Can you imagine how much your world would open up if you learn to disregard fear? And I'm not just talking about phobias or the fear of physical danger. But everyday fears that we all face...fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of what others think, fear of success, fear of uncertainty, fear of the unknown...
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Back to my present to my girlfriend. The week before her birthday, I gave her at least one clue per day. But I stumped her!!! She didn't guess it until the night before when we played charades. : )
If you want to see one of the clues I gave her, check out this webpage.
OK, so it was a little obscure...but I didn't really want her to guess too early!!! : )
Carpe Diem!!
