I get anxious that the summer will go by without doing anything. I make plans and have had them dashed in the past, so the last half doz summers I have avoided doing so. This year is different - my summer is actually scheduled out with a series of activities. I am really quite anxious that these aren't going to happen - especially when the plans include things that are extremely important to me. I am so afraid that I will spend another season watching it slip on by.
I am anxious these last few years to paddle. I was once an avid kayaker. It was a way of life. But, as each year passes without having opportunity to do so I get fearful that it would be a total disaster. Is my balance affected by my medication? Am I strong enough to paddle against the current? WIll I look like and idiot (a fat lady sqeezing into the cockpit)? Will my car run long enough to get me to the launch site? etc, etc, etc
Similarly I'm anxious this year about hiking which is one of those plans I've made. Will I be able to do so or am I so out of shape the idea is ridiculous. There is one moderate to difficult hike I want to do again. Will I humiliate myself?
I am anxious about fire. I live in an apartment and I worry that someone will leave their BBQ unattended.
