Have any past experiences shaped the fears and anxieties you have today?

Of course past experiences have to change a person and I’m sure I’m no exception. By the time you get to my age nothing is very surprising any more, I seem to know the outcome, even though it may seem unlikely, given enough time things always turn out as I thought they would.
Whether to trust? I suppose that is the thing that has shaped me today. I’m actually quite trusting but always cautious, having been let down by so called friends in the past. Actually I’m not a great friend, I don’t think. I have only ever needed one good friend even at school. Nowadays I like to talk and associate with people in groups never really committing to friendship.
I know that bad things can happen in an instance. Things that can turn your life upside down before you know it. I think that’s the reason I’m thankful for my days. Simple things are just the best and I appreciate my good fortune to be in a particular place when there is a lovely sunset or just watching the river flow with the sunlight shining on it.
I worry of course that anything awful will happen to any of my family but I try not to get to caught up in “ what if’s “.
The biggest thing to face is dying. We can probably count on two hands the time we have left, if we’re lucky. The thought of my husband dying before me is awful. I don’t think that will be the case though, he’s very fit as am I. So we’ve made a pact that neither of us is going anywhere!
