Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Fear has been my constant companion for at least 10 years now and was probably there the other 40 but I was just too ignorant to see it. When life hit me with some pretty hard blows which started from one action I took, it was apparent that the snowball of hell was rolling down and there wasn't a thing I could do to stop it. I used to to think that I had some control over my life. That I made my own destiny.....BUNK. What I see now is that life is a series of choices and change. I am responsible for my choices. Like it not, this is the way it is.
