Today is the day...

In my previous post i was talking about taking up a job to become financially independent. So, toward being that, i decided i should drive out all alone. Not that i dont know to drive, but i am terrified of parking the car incorrectly. Also, i have not been driving much in Australia. I never ever parked all on my own. Always, i ask my husband to park for me. (Being from India, im not used to parallel parking or 45degree parking) Today is the day i thought and off i went to the mall. I even took an extra step and even took my baby with me. Shopping with a 1 year old is definitely not easy but i was determined today. And off i went. All went well. I drove slowly and parked slowly. I parked well and perfectly. I was proud of myself. Completed the shopping and i was back home. Mission accomplished! I was the happiest person on earth. I realized we need to face our fears , however big or small, and not run away from it. I know its not so difficult to go out and drive. But to me it is the first time and hence this is a big achievement.
