Day 275 of My Spiritual Life Journey:
🌀A Cold Plunge🌀
"Be strong, Be brave, Be fearless; you are never alone." Joshua 1:9
There is a saying that we should do one thing each day that scares us! Through this journey I continue to take risk and I now see how more enriched my life has become.
For our Anniversary we were up at Strawberry Hot Springs in Streamboat Springs, CO. They have a very warm hot spring pool right next to the freezing cold river. For fun people dare each other to jump into the cold water. It's very similar to the feeling of the 'polar bear plunge this time of year in the mountains as all the snow is melting. 
I watched as my husband made the leap; he got such an adrenaline rush. Never in my life would I have done this but in my new life I take more risk and work hard to live a life without fear. I'm not a swimmer but I took the leap of faith: I immediately panicked, flailed around and my husband came to my rescue.
The Challenge: 
I left the icy cold water feeling proud that I faced something that absolutely terrified me. What's something that scares you? Make a point this year to face that fear and find a new sense of strength that you didn't know you had.
