Happy Halloween! Today's Question.....

Halloween is all about fear and being scared.
What scares you most?
I'll start:
I fear for the future of our country, the world, and my girls' roles in it to have the best life they can have.

God could not be everywhere, so
I fear the future A LOT. I see how much things have changes in the past 50+ years. Hearing my parents talk about 'old' times and then thinking about my teen years and now what it is like for my dd today. I fear for the future of all of us. What will my grandchildren have to endore? Things seem to be getting worse. But when I am out and I have a nice conversation with someone, it gives me hope of good still being around. I just hope the good can out weigh the bad.
I also fear getting old. Having no one to take care of me and becoming homeless when I am old.
On a lighter note, I hate spiders and snakes...eeeeewwww....creepy

Of losing my family (daughter,parents & siblings) & death I don't know how I could be me with out them I think about it often as I see them getting older some getting close to age when there parent's died health issues and what not. Any time I think of me dying I go into panic mode ...I just hate to think of it. I too have thought of how things use to be for me as a teen & listen to my dad and my grandma talk of there time's it just amazes me how it has all changed.
Let' see.
I fear i have no real purpose in life and that I have nothing really to look forward to.
On the lighter side, I fear rats and mice. Ick.

I don't know if I "fear" getting old....just know I hate the aching joints and scars, the not being able to do what I used too, the decline of my "little buddy" (a guy thing).
Spiders.....MAJOR EEEEWWWWW (took me forever to be able to even LOOK at them with out breaking out in goose bumps)
Rats and mice are O.K., in the store.
What I REALLY "fear" is my own nightmares (shudder), and the dark (here I am 39 yrs old and I can still feel like something is watching me out of the dark). LOL.

It's funny, but Halloween has never equated to scary for me--I learned about the whole concept of All Hallows Eve as a very young child, but instead of being scared that spirits were out moving around, I thought it was nice they could come for a visit.
However, I am VERY scared of the future--worries about my physical health along with my mental, money (or lack thereof) and how things will play out for DD, Bryan (and Jake).
I fear the direction our country/ies are taking in becoming more narrow and less tolerant of differences, whether in sex, race, colour, religion or viewpoints. Extremism of any kind has always disturbed me. I fear being old and poor and unable to afford to live somewhere decent and warm. I fear losing my friends.
Creepy crawlies don't really bother me and I like snakes and lizards, but what I find really really creepy is . . . Mrs Doubtfire!
I fear for my children: what type of a future they will have in this world. I especially fear for ds because of his special needs. I always fear that dh will leave me because I am WAY more than he bargained for since my bp has gotten worse as I got older and tried to continue ignoring it. I've put that man through h*ll yet he's still standing by my side. It's just the fear that one day he will say he has had enough.
I fear going to confession at church (even though I don't really participate in my religion right now) LOL.
