Wendy- Teaching An Old Dog (ME) New Tricks - macyoder - 12-15-2011
It's never too late. I learned to swim at 43, got over my fear of heights at 45, and learned to ride a bike at 46. Since then I went snorkeling in cenotes/under water caves in Mexico, zipline in the jungle, hiked cliffs and climbed waterfalls in Yosemite, ride about 3 miles to the gym on the weekends plus, climbed thousands of steps this summer. All this after having 2 open heart surgeries at 30 and my heart's ejection fraction is less than 40 percent (normal is 50-70 percent). At 47 I am going to learn to parallel park and at 50 paradeez! Wish it, Dream it, Do it!

Hey Macy...alla dose accomplishments are BIG...but dis one ah di bomb....it's about time.....dem nah teach dat ah Yaad, don't?
Re: Wendy- Teaching An Old Dog (ME) New Tricks - macyoder - 12-16-2011 I know how to parallel park in 'theory' I can't forget the first time I stood at the deep end of the pool, took a deep breath, jumped in, then finally emerged on the other side. Standing at the edge of Taft Point 7,600 feet with a thin rail, you feel your B@LLs tighten, in "theory".

I've done this also, wasn't it just the bomb ! plus i am afraid of heights also (was). I've done the skydiving thing as well, now to only learn to swim. Re: Wendy- Teaching An Old Dog (ME) New Tricks - Pineapple - 12-16-2011 Amazing MacYoder! How did you get over your fear of heights? I can swim, ride a bike, and parallel park but CAN'T deal with heights. Would love to do the zip line but never would be able to even climb the ladder to get to the take off point. Just looking at your photo at the top of that look out made my stomic knot up. Re: Wendy- Teaching An Old Dog (ME) New Tricks - Sundowner - 12-16-2011 I can't swim either. It's one thing on my bucket list. Jenny, will you teach me too? Wendy, let's hire Jenny to teach us. In very shallow water.
Re: Wendy- Teaching An Old Dog (ME) New Tricks - rootswoman - 12-16-2011 Can I help?
Re: Wendy- Teaching An Old Dog (ME) New Tricks - Sundowner - 12-17-2011 Okay, sign me up. Swimming lessons for Terrified Women. In Jamaica. Can we drink rum at the same time?
