Its funny to read through my first blogs and read about "learning lifes lessons the hard way" and my quote about, "if your bucked off the pony, get back on and ride to the hills" they really become reality when I read the avalanche story and both those things relate 100%.  Im a stubborn person who would never learn something if it didn't scare me.  Just a small "slide" wouldn't teach me the dangers of the mountain.  It had to happen the way it did to get it through to my thick head.  Now I need to also learn, not be a hypocrite, take my advice and get back on that pony and ride to the hills.  It scares me when I think about going back to Austria and being confronted by big mountains.  It also scares me when i go running in the dark.  Life scares me as I have learnt that the worst things can happen to me, not just people I dont know.  Fear is one of the biggest things we need to confront.  They say that people that have no fear and get pleasure from being in life threatening situations have a little something extra in the brain that normal people don't have.  I think i'm in the "normal" catorgory as im a "scaredy pants"
