on Friday evening the doorbell cam advised there was an animal in the front yard (bit fuzzy)…

I ran downstairs to watch out the window and was quite happy watching the two deer…

until one started to eat the plants in one of the planters…

I knocked on the window but it didn’t scare it…

stared right back at me…

and as I watched them head to the hostas next door, I went outside to scare them away…

but they really didn’t want to go… they even started walking towards me, but after about a three minute standoff, they finally crossed the street and headed toward the creek…

brave…

was recently talking with someone about being brave…

made me think back to our trip to Mexico when we went down to the ocean floor wearing these 60 pound helmets… we were there to see the stingrays…

we told the team that I was claustrophobic, just in case I couldn’t stay down in the water… I hung onto the rail for dear life, lol… I thought that the divers came by a few times, but apparently they came by every minute or so to be sure I was okay…

but I did it… and have the photo to prove it…

while we were on Maui I tried stand up paddle boarding… and I did it, well, for about five minutes, lol… of course my daughter did hold the board while I got on…

this afternoon I went to the Zoo with friends… we spent some time checking out the new stingray exhibit… this was what had instigated the conversation around bravery… what fun…

the volunteers shared all kinds of information about the display… there are two varieties and twenty-five in total… looking forward to visiting them again;-)… no fear at all for this visit;-)…

took me back to those moments of being so scared, but doing it anyway…
